Proxyless Service Mesh for gRPC Java Services
summary
Shows how to run Java gRPC services without sidecar using proxyless mode and xDS control plane, requiring gRPC Java >= 1.48, a bootstrap file path in an env var, and xds credentials. Demonstrates real code and a GitHub demo, explains that missing control plane or template causes fallback to DNS resolver (so no mesh policies), and that some features (runtime change of certain balancer policies) remain unimplemented. Covers observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger) and resource savings at large scale (example: ~1000 instances). xDS v3 bootstrap file
