Panel: Navigating the Trough of Disillusionment
summary
Gartner places service mesh in the trough of disillusionment but panelists argue adoption in large enterprises grows and practical work is focused on stability not hype. Istio ships a sidecar and a new ambient mode that decouples the data plane from applications to avoid restarting deployments. The project measures upgrade velocity and targets upgrade under a week for cluster rollouts; migration tooling and Gateway API examples are promised but not yet fully productized.
