A service mesh like Linkerd is a tool for adding observability,
security, and reliability features to "cloud native" applications by

than the application layer. The service mesh is rapidly becoming a

## What is a service mesh?
## Service mesh in a nutshell

A service mesh is a tool for adding observability, security, and reliability
features to applications by inserting these features at the platform layer
rather than the application layer.
A service mesh like Linkerd is a tool for adding observability, security, and
reliability features to applications by inserting these features at the platform
layer rather than the application layer.

The service mesh is typically implemented as a scalable set of network proxies
deployed _alongside_ application code (a pattern sometimes called a _sidecar_).
