A service mesh is a simple concept: a layer for service-to-service communication.
The need for better microservice communication continues to grow as monolithic applications are composed of complex, distributed systems.
As service mesh technology has evolved from the hyped-up early days, organizations have begun to realize the promise of a resilient, scalable, and traceable way to deploy modern application architectures.
Companies that have implemented a service mesh are starting to report specific improvements to their IT organization: infrastructure that is easier to manage, faster development of business software, and better visibility into how critical services are performing. This is leading to increased agility for the business overall.
Is your organization ready for service mesh? As you become more and more of a software company, it may just be a matter of time.
