What the heck is a Service Mesh ?
summary
A service mesh adds observability and security without changing application code by inserting sidecar proxy containers that intercept service-to-service traffic. Popular implementations include Istio, Linkerd and Consul; Consul uses intentions to allow/deny calls, and Kiali dashboards show latency and requests-per-second so teams can trace hotspots. It enables mTLS and traffic patterns like A/B, blue/green and canary, but it increases operational complexity and requires team readiness.
