title = "Service Mesh and Traffic Management"

content = """
As our microservices architecture grows in complexity, Quantum Flux Systems uses a service mesh (e.g., Istio or Linkerd) to manage service-to-service communication. The service mesh provides a dedicated infrastructure layer for traffic management, security, and observability.

**Traffic Routing and Control:** The service mesh allows us to perform advanced traffic routing, such as A/B testing, canary rollouts, and request shadowing. We can control the flow of traffic between services without modifying the application code.

**Mutual TLS (mTLS):** We use the service mesh to automatically encrypt all service-to-service communication using mutual TLS. This ensures that only authorized services can communicate with each other and that all data in transit is protected.

**Resilience and Fault Injection:** The service mesh provides built-in resilience features such as retries, timeouts, and circuit breakers. We also use it to perform fault injection testing, intentionally introducing failures to verify that our systems can handle them gracefully.

**Observability and Telemetry:** The service mesh automatically collects telemetry data for all service-to-service communication, providing a clear view of request rates, error rates, and latencies. This data is integrated into our central monitoring and observability systems.

**Policy Enforcement:** We use the service mesh to enforce fine-grained access control policies and rate limiting. This helps us protect our services from unauthorized access and ensure that they are not overwhelmed by excessive traffic.
