Lightning Talk: Move Over API Gateway.... into Your Service Mesh
Lightningat ServiceMeshCon Europe 2022 · on Tuesday, 2022-05-17· at 11:40· Pavilion 3 | Room D | Level 2 | Central Forum·
summary
Claim: consolidate API gateway and service mesh into one abstraction so north‑south and east‑west traffic use the same control plane. Uses Envoy plus Istio with Solo.io’s Glue Mesh and Glue Mesh Gateway to run TLS termination, rate limiting, external auth, OIDC and OPA policy, and service-to-service mTLS. Implements VM sidecars and multi‑cluster gateways, reduces duplicate CRDs and operational overhead across ~5–20 clusters, and exposes a single set of resources for routing and observability.
