Gartner defines the service mesh market as the market for distributed computing middleware that enables, secures and optimizes communications between services running primarily in container management systems. A service mesh provides lightweight mediation, dynamic service discovery, request routing, observability, traceability and communication security. The service mesh is a technology that provides software infrastructure for communications between distributed application components deployed mainly in container management systems such as Kubernetes. This type of middleware helps manage and monitor service-to-service (east-west) communications, especially among microservices within an application domain. It also provides visibility into service interactions, enabling proactive operations and faster diagnostics. It automates complex communication concerns, thereby improving security, developer productivity and ensuring that standards and policies are enforced consistently across applications.

"A good tool for Service to Service communication, better than designing your own."
We use Hashicorp Consul for Service to Service communication networks. We have tried inhouse solutions for achieveing S2S communication but the architecture was always resulting in security concerns hence we moved to hashicorp consul. Since it is cloud native solution it was easy to install and set up although documentation for set up and integration is a bit confusing and we had to wait for long to get in touch with customer srvice to resolve our issues. Overall a great tool to accomplish service mesh architecture within our products
