Service Mesh Authorizers

PlainID's Service Mesh Authorizers enhance authorization capabilities. They are dedicated infrastructure layers that help manage communication between microservices within a distributed application. They provide features like service discovery, load balancing, and traffic management. Additionally, service meshes often include security capabilities to ensure the integrity and authorization of service-to-service communication.

Authorizers, in the context of service meshes, are components responsible for enforcing access control policies and determining whether a request from one service to another should be allowed. They play a crucial role in ensuring that only authorized services can communicate with each other within the service mesh.
