Digital transformation and cloud adoption are rapidly fueling cloud-native technology adoption with containerized microservices and Kubernetes at its core. However, a microservices-based architecture can bring on a whole new set of challenges. No longer do app components talk to each other through secure and fast function calls. Instead, they communicate via an inherently unreliable and insecure network. That's why visibility into network communication is an imperative to identify potential issues and address them before they result in significant business disruption. The most pressing risks to organizations amidst transformation and modernization efforts can be solved by deploying service mesh.
That said, the service mesh space is dynamic, with lots of projects and vendors building new and interesting solutions. While this vibrant and crowded space has multiple service mesh offerings, they all have one thing in common: they work by having a proxy intercept, and transform, application traffic.
What exactly is the role of the proxy in a service mesh?
