Service Meshes - Powering the next wave of microservice architectures

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Service meshes move retries, circuit breakers, mutual TLS and routing out of app code into Envoy sidecars and a control plane like Pilot/Mixer/Citadel (Istio) running on Kubernetes. Demos show 50/50 and percent-based canary swaps, traffic mirroring of live traffic to an unpublished version, outlier detection that ejects instances after five errors for 20s, and retries of up to three attempts with a 2s timeout (vs 15s default). Start with observability, add policies gradually.
