Service Mesh vs Event-Driven Architecture - Is There a Difference?

Service Mesh is an alternative implementation for microservices versus this event driven architecture. The synchronous one effectively says, we'll give you business centric functions for you to call and we'll do work on your behalf. The one I'm advocating is asynchronous in the sense that we'll giveYou the read-only data you need to make your decisions for your business purposes. Is there a scenario where you would use both? Oh, absolutely, yeah. They all have their advantage and disadvantages and can work together.
