Service Meshes: Istio, Linkerd - or No Mesh at All? • Hanna Prinz & Eberhard Wolff • GOTO 2021

This presentation was recorded at GOTOpia Chicago 2021. #GOTOcon #GOTOpia http://gotochgo.com Hanna Prinz - Co-Author of "Service Mesh" & Consultant at INNOQ Eberhard Wolff - Co-Author of "Service Mesh" & Fellow at INNOQ ABSTRACT Service meshes like Istio and Linkerd 2 solve many problems of current microservice applications. They add observability, routing, resilience, and security features as a dedicated infrastructure layer. Communication between applications can be monitored, configured and secured without adding or changing application code. Sounds too good to be true? Indeed, a service mesh does not come without a price: mental complexity, increased resource consumption, and latency being the main challenges. We will talk about meaningful use cases for service meshes, drawbacks, and differences between the various implementations [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:25 What is a service mesh?
