WTF Do We Need a Service Mesh?

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Service mesh is a sidecar+control-plane pattern that makes service-to-service networking manageable by adding proxies (Envoy, Linkerd2 proxy) and control APIs (SMI). It enables traffic split, progressive delivery (blue/green, canary) and observability (service-level percentiles, success/failure counts); Istio drops from ~50 to ~20 components since 1.0, is available as a managed GKE add-on, and suffers mixer hot spots addressed by mixer v2/WASM. Benchmarks claim Linkerd (Rust proxy) outperforms Istio; alternatives include Consul, Traefik/Kuma approaches and Network Service Mesh for L2/L3 use cases.
