With the recent advancement of software development methodologies and
frameworks, service meshes has been to rapidly gain the lime light. In
this paper, we provide an introduction to service meshes and discuss
their key use cases in modern cloud-native architectures. We also
explore the challenges associated with performance analysis of service
meshes and present a survey of recent research in this area. To address
these challenges, we propose the use of soft computing techniques for
performance analysis of service meshes. Our study includes a comparative
analysis of different service mesh platforms and their performance under
varying workloads. Overall, this paper provides insights into the
benefits and limitations of service meshes and highlights the importance
of performance analysis in ensuring the reliability and scalability of
micro-services based applications.
