Leveraging Service Meshes as a New Network Layer
Sachin Ashok, P. Brighten Godfrey, Radhika Mittal
Abstract
As modern cloud services have scaled out, applications have moved from relatively monolithic designs to highly modularized fleets of microservices that communicate among each other to perform application-level tasks. These microservices effectively form a network at the application layer, and service mesh frameworks have recently emerged to factor out microservices' common communication functionality.
