The underlying tool Consul is very powerful, and Consul Connect service mesh on top of this tool is quite robust and extremely flexible where you can swap out the default CA for other solutions, like Vault CA, and swap out the Envoy proxy for another solution, like NGINX or HAProxy. For ingress into the cluster, you can use Consul API Gateway, or another API Gateway or an ingress controller.

linkerd

Linkerd is an ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes. It gives you observability, reliability, and security without requiring any code changes.
Pricing:
- Open Source
I have experimented with other service meshes and I was able to get up to speed quickly: Linkerd = 1 day, Istio = 3 days, NGINX Service Mesh = 5 days, but Consul Connect service mesh took at least 11 days to get off the ground. This is by far the most complex solution available.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers
Pricing:
- Open Source
Consul Connect service mesh has a higher memory footprint, so on a small cluster with e5-medium nodes (2 vCPUs, 4 GB memory), you will only be able to support a maximum of 6 side-car proxies. In order to get an application like Dgraph working, which will have 6 nodes (3 Dgraph Alpha pods and 3 Dgraph Zero pods) for high availability along with at least one client, a larger footprint with more robust Kubernetes worker nodes were required.

For Kubernetes, experience with deploying applications with service resources is useful, but even if you don’t have this, this guide will walk you through it. Configuring KUBECONFIG to access the Kubernetes cluster with Kubernetes client (kubectl) and using Helm (helm), so familiarity to this is useful.
