NGINX Service Mesh aka NSM known for best in traffic management, hybrid deployment, visualisation & security for micro services and LB's. We are using micro-service architecture along with service level which help us truly balance between security & availability.

Dislike

- Requires additional resources - Steep learning curve - Difficult to implement

Dislike

NGINX is based on open source services which sometime not able to provide true performance due to its complex application architecture. If it can be integrated with any performance & analytical tool, it would be fantastic.
