> The microservice architecture, which breaks complex applications into sets of single-purpose networked components, can be a challenge to manage, as each microservice must be instrumented, secured and locatable in a dynamically reconfiguring network. In addition, multiple copies of microservices may be run in parallel, to meet the demands of a growing demand. Their traffic must be managed as well. > > A service mesh, which attaches a sidecar to each microservice, standardizes and moves the development of these tasks from the individual developer.
