Istio, we have a problem! Understanding and fixing bugs with a service-mesh

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Istio injects Envoy sidecars to capture all HTTP traffic and adds Service Graph visibility, Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards, and Zipkin traces without code changes; a real bug shows repeated /0 calls and 22 retries; fixes are deployed as a labeled v2, tested with header-based canary and traffic mirroring (real user requests copied to v2), then shifted via weighted blue‑green routing; the demo builds, monitors, and validates the fix end-to-end on a local Kubernetes cluster.
