Best practices for configuring a service mesh

Although a service mesh is extremely beneficial to development teams, putting one in place requires some effort. A service mesh gives you a lot of flexibility and room to tailor it to your needs because it has so many moving pieces. Flexibility usually comes at the expense of complexity. While working with a service mesh, the following best practices will provide you with some useful guidelines:

• Adopt a GitOps approach: Traffic regulations, rate limits, and networking setup are all part of the service mesh’s configuration. The configuration can be used to install the service mesh from the ground up, update its versions, and migrate between clusters. As a result, it is recommended that the configuration be regarded as code and that GitOps be utilized in conjunction with a continuous deployment pipeline.
• Use fewer clusters: Fewer clusters with a big number of servers perform better than many clusters with fewer instances...
