A platform architect includes both an API gateway and a service mesh in the architecture...

Service Mesh vs. API Gateway:

API Gateway:Typically managesNorth-Southtraffic (traffic entering the application network from external clients).

Service Mesh:Is designed to manageEast-Westtraffic (traffic flowingbetweenmicroservices within the application network or cluster).

Anypoint Service Mesh:It manages, secures, and observes communicationbetween services within the application(microservices), ensuring zero-trust security and policy enforcement inside the Kubernetes cluster.
