A service mesh is easy to swallow in small pieces (sponsored by Aspen Mesh)

Description

You’re probably skeptical of the hype around service mesh technology. But the nice thing about Istio is that you don’t have to do it all at once. Incremental adoption allows you to only add it in places where the value exceeds the pain.

Andrew Jenkins explains the top things you should consider adding and shares some real-world experience with each.

Topics include:

• Tracing: Install a service mesh at the front door to get L7 ingress control and traces. Then add it to your first service to get better traces.
• mTLS: Add a second service to get mTLS. Achieve security by default and a zero-trust network.
• Resiliency: Insert fault injection to develop a service mesh where scalability and reliability are ingrained and not something you frantically add at the last minute.
