Kong Mesh Overview Why do you need a Service Mesh? Ensure service connectivity, discovery and traffic reliability Achieve Zero-Trust Security Gain Global Traffic Observability Intelligently route traffic across any platform and any cloud to meet expectations and SLAs Restrict access and encrypt all traffic by default to only complete transactions when identity is verified Gain a detailed understanding of service behavior to increase application reliability and the efficiency of teams
