Differentiated sidecars in a service mesh may be provided. A first routing rule includes a first plurality of weights to be associated with a first plurality of data paths of a first microservice instance may be received. Next, first mapping between a first set of features associated with the first microservice instance and the first plurality of weights may be determined. Then a second microservice instance may be detected and a second set of features associated with the second microservice instance may be detected. A second routing rule comprising a second plurality of weights to be associated with a second plurality of data paths of the second microservice instance may be determined. The second plurality of weights may be determined such that a second mapping between the second set of features and the second plurality of weights imitates the first mapping.
