Lightning Talk: Using Istio's Mixer for Network Request Caching
summary
Claims that Istio Mixer request-level cache can remove service-side caching by intercepting responses and storing them with TTL semantics using Envoy filter workarounds. Demonstration caches a 1MB JSON payload used by many services so that after the initial fetch subsequent requests return in microsecond responses, cutting network hops and latency without adding Redis or Memcached dependencies. Implementation is prototype-level but shows practical, measurable latency and resiliency benefits.
