Proxyless Service Mesh with gRPC
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020 Virtual · on Thursday, 2020-11-19· at 17:40· Intrado Virtual Event Platform,·
summary
gRPC adds a proxyless service mesh via xDS so apps talk to the control plane directly and avoid sidecars; the xDS client in gRPC 1.33 supports xDS v2 and v3, locality-aware load balancing, header routing, traffic splitting and failover. Demo uses a gRPC wallet and Google’s control plane “traffic vector” to show a 60/40 traffic split, header-based routing to a premium backend, and fast locality failover; requires adding an xds dependency, a bootstrap file and recompilation.
