Service Mesh for Developers 2/5 - API Gateways

The service mesh is often presented as a solution for network engineering and system operability, increasing security, reliability, and observability. However, the service mesh is also an incredibly useful tool for developers, and understanding how to leverage this technology can dramatically simplify your day to day workflow.

In our second video of the series, join Christian and Nic as they discus and demo API gateways and Distributed tracing.

By the end of this series you will understand:
How to use metrics and distributed tracing effectively
Reliability patterns like retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking
How to leverage Canary deployments
How you can effectively debug distributed systems

The cloud-native, open-source technology used in this tutorial include:
Envoy
Prometheus
Gloo shot
Consul Service Mesh
Loop
Squash
Open Census

Schedule:
16th Jan - Distributed Tracing
23rd Jan - Canary Deployments
30th Jan - Microservice Debugging
