Loading...Introduction to Service Meshes
When I first started working with microservices, our team encountered numerous challenges in managing service discovery, traffic management, and security. Last quarter, our team discovered that using a service mesh could simplify these complexities. Here's what I learned when evaluating Istio 1.18, Linkerd 2.12, and Consul 1.14 for our modern microservices architecture.
The Problem with Microservices

I realized that a service mesh is essential for managing these complexities, but choosing the right one is crucial. My colleague Jake suggested we start by evaluating the most popular options: Istio, Linkerd, and Consul.
