Do you need a Service Mesh?
summary
Shows a concrete install on GKE using Helm, with automatic Envoy sidecar injection and control‑plane config files that add rate limits, canary routing and mutual TLS. Observability is real: Jaeger traces and Prometheus metrics appear without changing app code. Demo deploys sample app, applies routing rules, and returns HTTP 200 while dashboards show per‑service latencies and splits. Notes WAF/advanced bot protection is not fully solved by a mesh today.
