About this video
When the team at Traefik Labs decided to build Traefik Mesh, we were faced with deciding the most effective approach to the design, implementation, and compatibility of a service mesh.
This talk presents our rational for leveraging our existing open-source project Traefik, how we accomplished this, the benefits, and how we were able to avoid the sidecar proxy model that is associated with most service meshes.
This presentation also covers:
- Advantages and disadvantages of using a Service Mesh, and appropriate situations to use one
- How to deploy a realistic microservice application on Kubernetes while utilizing features such as canary testing and implementing back-offs / retries
- Advantages of the Service Mesh Interface specification (SMI)
