Very cool!

The service mesh doesn't have to be complex. If you want the value of the service mesh at a fraction of the complexity, start with Linkerd.

Have you considered doing a similar writeup for Linkerd? ( https://linkerd.io )

Thanks, this is a really helpful overview!

I'm not an expert, but don’t all modern databases suffer from these issues? I thought they all depended on clock sync like Google Spanner.

FYI Linkerd's Grafana dashboards are purely additive. If you don't like them, ignore them. We also work hard to make Linkerd incremental. It doesn't "touch every TCP connection" so much as "touch every TCP conn

Distributed tracing requires instrumentation / app modification (for header forwarding if nothing else), but metrics don't. E.g. Linkerd gives you service "golden metrics" (success rate, latency distribution, request vol

You can start with Linkerd 1.x today. Supports pretty much every platform. :)

by williamallthing 8y ago
Exactly! We considered Go briefly but in the end, the magic intersection of native-code performance, plus guaranteed memory safety, trumped every other concern for the data plane.

The article this quote is pulled from [1] is primarily referring to Linkerd 1.x, but Istio follows the same patterns. [1] https://blog.linkerd.io/2018/09/18/announcing-linkerd-2-0/

Those quotes aren't from the article. I'll address them anyways since they're from a different article which I wrote: >> "Traditional service meshes are an all-or-nothing proposition that add a significant layer of

Just a question of starting point. Linkerd 1.x has been running for years on multiple platforms, and we'll get there with the 2.x line as well.

Linkerd person here. The two projects have very different goals. I wrote some more about this on the Linkerd blog: https://blog.linkerd.io/2018/09/18/announcing-linkerd-2-0/

I'm biased, but Linkerd has been in prod at companies around the world for almost 2 years so it's about as mature as it gets. If you're moving to Kubernetes, you're also a candidate for Conduit (next generation ultraligh

The dashboards are a detail, but visibility into topline service metrics are absolutely critical. There's a huge difference between "I need to configure a bunch of stuff and do some complicated things first", and "I get

Did I mention focused on solving real problems with a minimum of fuss? If you can't get topline metrics dashboards for every service you're running in Kubernetes within 60 seconds of installing Conduit, I will literally* send a te

Conduit's a tool to solve actual, engineering-facing operational problems with as little complexity as possible, that happens to be a service mesh. Istio is a Big Important Service Mesh for Big Important People that does everything und

Thanks! We've got a couple more features coming up along this vein that you're really going to like.

by williamallthing 8y ago
Thanks! Yeah, that's the danger of putting up a public roadmap with dates on it. We've seen a little production usage that uncovered a couple issues that we wanted to address quickly, and that shifted the timeline a bit. But we&#x
