Intelligent Connected Proxies
For more complex connections or resources such as service discovery, rate limiting, traffic management and advanced metrics, you may want to implement a service mesh.
A service mesh consists of edge and embedded proxies communicating with each other and handling traffic based on rules from a control plane. Various options are available, including Envoy, Istio, and linkerd.

Service Mesh Options
Envoy
Envoy is a modular and extensible proxy favored due to its modular construction, open architecture and dedication to remaining unmonetized. It is often used as a data plane under other tools of a service mesh.
Istio
Istio is a powerful tool set which leverages Envoy proxies via a multi-component control plane. It is built to be platform-independent, and it can be used to make the service mesh flexible and feature-filled.
linkerd
linkerd is another service mesh, purposely built to be easy to deploy, fast, and ultralight.
