This is not an example of "WHEN Not to do Microservices". It is a perfect demonstration of "HOW not to do Microservices". The design of the Istio control plane is a dog's breakfast. And because they've screwed

Some famous runner who's name I can't remember and probably didn't exist anyway once said "I can't run 200 miles. But I can run 1 mile - 200 times". Start from page 1 and iterate from there.

Be careful what you wish for. I have one. Go for dinner with them, they would charge you for the time spent eating the delicious dinner, and afterwards they would write you a letter stating the dinner was delicious. Together with a bill for

If it is The Hut Group behind this, then they have a track record of this kind of cock up (re the Zavvi article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25330615 ).

You're not a mug, you've an honest person treated badly by an incompetent company. You would be a mug if you dealt with them again ;-) Don't be surprised if you haven't heard the end of it. They might well lose the item

Indeed. Paid advertising has been a busted flush for many years now. I'm still not sure the theoretical consultants you've listed would be "good" as such. They'll just have a massive budget they can use to blow the
