A **service mesh** is an infrastructure layer that gives applications capabilities like zero-trust security, observability, and advanced traffic management, without code changes. **Istio** is the most popular, powerful, and trusted service mesh. Founded by Google and IBM in 2016, Istio is a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation alongside projects like Kubernetes and Prometheus.

Founded by Google, IBM and Lyft in 2016, Istio is a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation alongside projects like Kubernetes and Prometheus.

Istio ensures that cloud native and distributed systems are resilient, helping modern enterprises maintain their workloads across diverse platforms while staying connected and protected. It [enables security and governance controls](/docs/concepts/observability/) including mTLS encryption, policy management and access control, [powers network features](/docs/concepts/traffic-management/) like canary deployments, A/B testing, load balancing, failure recovery, and [adds observability](/docs/concepts/observability/) of traffic across your estate.

Istio pioneered the concept of a sidecar-based service mesh when it launched in 2017. Since then, the project has driven advances in the mesh space including [extensibility via WebAssembly](/docs/concepts/wasm/) and moving the mesh infrastructure away from application developers with [ambient mode](/docs/ambient/overview/).
