The Cloud Native Paradigm: 2019 and Beyond
summary
Open Policy Agent gains traction as a single policy plane usable as a CLI, sidecar, Go library or REST service, using the Rego language to enforce a default allow = false posture from CI through service mesh (example: blocking unwanted dependencies before build). OpenTelemetry unites tracing and metrics libraries and complements OpenMetrics/Prometheus exposition formats. The Service Mesh Interface standardizes traffic management (access control, traffic splitting, mesh metrics). Persistent gap: cloud databases resist a single portable model.
