# Is Ambient Mesh the Future of Service Mesh?

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseJune 30, 2025

The word on the street is that ambient mesh is the obvious evolution of service mesh technology — leaner, simpler, and less resource-intensive. But while ambient mesh is an exciting development, the reality is more nuanced. It is more than likely that a sidecar-based mesh is still a better fit for…
