GLOSSARY > SERVICE MESH

Service Mesh

A dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between microservices, using a proxy.

A Service Mesh (like Istio) manages the complex web of interactions in a highly distributed AI environment. It automatically encrypts traffic via mTLS, handles advanced routing (like canary deployments for new LLM versions), and provides deep observability telemetry, vastly reducing the cognitive load on DevOps teams.
