This is a short article and podcast discussing a new report outlining the service mesh. You might not need to deploy a service mesh yourself, but it's a good idea to be familiar with this trend.  "A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-servicecommunication in order to make  it  visible,  manageable, and  controlled....  every service mesh is implemented as a series (or a "mesh") of inter‐connected network proxies designed to better manage service traffic." The article and podcast give a high level overview; the report itself is hidden behind a form demanding spammy details (but my copy was here - 36 page PDF). There's some good background provided in Phil Calçado's history of the service mesh pattern and, Redmonk's "hot take" on the topic.
