Anypoint Service Mesh

A software architecture pattern called a service mesh is used to deploy proxy servers as microservices and uses sidecars to facilitate secure, quick, and continuous communication between the services. Most service meshes, including Istio, are deployed using Kubernetes clusters. Despite the abundance of commercial offerings and open source service mesh projects, Istio has become the de facto industry standard.

To implement them, the sidecar’s proxy pattern is typically utilized. A sidecar proxy goes along with every application that manages all service-to-service communication. It oversees east-west traffic discovery, route, security, and supervision. Every proxy instance is linked to a control plane that provides a way to control the mesh. Your inter-service interactions are governed by security and communication policies that are managed by a control plane. Authentication and authorization policies can now be applied at the control plane level, directing...
