App Connect's Journey to Istio
summary
App Connect migrates its 150 microservices and ~20 million requests per day onto Istio to gain tracing, traffic splitting and fault injection; deployment uses Istio ingress gateway, VirtualService and ServiceEntry rules with the includeOutboundIPRanges workaround for unknown SaaS endpoints. Team enables mTLS + auto-injection, hits early 503s (fixed after 1.1.503), finds wildcard ServiceEntry and pod startup timing bugs, wrestles with Prometheus resource use, runs Istio 1.2.7 and is testing 1.3/1.4.
