Ensuring the resilience and failure tolerance of cloud-native applications require visibility into systems that are fundamentally distributed. We will show how the Service Mesh Hub allows us to extend any underlying service mesh in order to provide a myriad of tools for maintaining the application health. from monitoring and tracing to chaos engineering. We will focus on Loop, a service mesh extension that records microservices transactions in real-time, enabling identification and postmortem interrogation of failures.


Solo.io Service Mesh Interface and Hub

Event: Cloud Field Day 6

Personnel: Christian Posta

Service mesh technology decouples the business logic of the application from the application network, efficiently controlling the communication between microservices in the ephemeral dynamic cloud environment. Organizations looking to adopt a service mesh are faced with a myriad of choices, making adoption difficult and risky. In addition, different public cloud providers offer different meshes, forcing multi-cloud application to interact with multiple meshes. We will share our vision of the Service Mesh Interface and its implementation in the Service Mesh Hub. The Hub provides a unified front for all meshes, allowing users to swap meshes, extend their functionalities, combine meshes into a single flat mesh and more.
