A disruptive technology pattern like a service mesh is exciting, but it can also be confusing as it straddles various concerns and responsibilities ranging from SecOps to application developers.
Neeraj Poddar dissects service mesh capabilities using Istio as an example, focusing on the pieces you should care about, and explores how you can offload some of the logic traditionally baked into the applications—distributed tracing and telemetry, request retries and timeouts, mutual transport layer security (TLS) and end user validation, and service decomposition—into a common infrastructure layer. Neeraj then walks you through some of the questions you should be asking your platform team, such as if you need to update your applications to use service mesh and whether or not the sidecars will downgrade your application performance, as you adopt a service mesh environment.
Neeraj Poddar is the Co-founder and the Engineering Lead at Aspen Mesh. He has worked on various aspects of operating systems, networking and distributed systems over the span of his career. He is passionate about developing efficient and performant distributed applications. At Aspen Mesh, he is currently leading the efforts to build an enterprise service mesh platform using Istio at its core. In his free time you can find him playing racquetball and gaining back the calories spent playing by trying out new restaurants.
