Service mesh is not a new concept, but its implementation for connecting microservices running on top of Kubernetes as a containerization platform makes the idea of having a service mesh more popular. Without a service mesh, each microservice needs to be configured to accept (and send) connections to other microservices it needs to communicate with.

In this article, we are going to compare some of the tools you can use to establish a service mesh to see which one is best.

As the name suggests, AWS App Mesh is Amazon’s own service mesh, built to enable the creation of a service mesh layer for Amazon services.

App Mesh also resorts to CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray for management of service mesh, but that means you can have complete control over the layer without leaving your primary dashboard.
