How Dapr compares to and works with service meshes
---

Dapr uses a sidecar architecture, running as a separate process alongside the application and includes features such as service invocation, network security, and distributed tracing. This often raises the question: how does Dapr compare to service mesh solutions such as [Linkerd](https://linkerd.io/), [Istio](https://istio.io/) and [Open Service Mesh](https://openservicemesh.io/) amoung others?

## How Dapr and service meshes compare
While Dapr and service meshes do offer some overlapping capabilities, **Dapr is not a service mesh**, where a service mesh is defined as a *networking* service mesh. Unlike a service mesh which is focused on networking concerns, Dapr is focused on providing building blocks that make it easier for developers to build applications as microservices. Dapr is developer-centric, versus service meshes which are infrastructure-centric.
