The integration of service mesh architectures into container-orchestrated microservices has become an increasingly critical concern in achieving scalability, observability, and performance optimization. This paper presents a benchmarking study evaluating the performance impact of service mesh on microservices deployed using Kubernetes. Through quantitative analysis and visual representations, we demonstrate latency, throughput, and resource overhead comparisons between service mesh-enabled and non-mesh microservices. Our study provides insights for system architects to decide on service mesh adoption based on performance trade-offs
