The following diagram depicts a simple service mesh architecture for microservices:

Figure 6.14 – A service mesh

The service mesh is a configurable communication infrastructure layer that guarantees the reliable delivery of requests across a complex topology of services. This enables teams to focus on business capabilities and leave the communication concerns to the service mesh. The service mesh is composed of two components: the control plane the and data plane.
