Service Mesh Patterns by the Book
summary
Catalogs 60 concrete service mesh patterns and shows live experiments using Meshery and the MeshMap plugin to apply them. A troubled Bookinfo profile exhibits ~18% error rate; a retry pattern with retry count of two eliminates errors but raises latency. Probabilistic examples: 2% instance error → 0.04% double-failure with one retry, 50% → 25% double-failure. Discusses idempotency, circuit breakers (observed tripped circuit under two concurrent threads), SMI/SMP support and tradeoffs for production use.
