TLDR Service Mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that handles service to service communication. It aims to handle all communication between your applications microservices. It is comprised of two main parts: the sidecars for each service, and a control plane. The benefits of a service mesh start to become more relevant as your network of services grows. The control plane is in charge of creating new instances of services, monitoring, managing security between services, and implementing any application-wide policies.
