Introduction to Istio service mesh for Microservices, presented by Kamesh Sampath | DevNation Live

The first generation of microservices was primarily shaped by Netflix OSS and leveraged by numerous Spring Cloud annotations all throughout your business logic. The next generation of #microservices will leverage sidecars and a service mesh. In this session, we will give you a taste of #Envoy and #Istio, two open source projects that will change the way you write cloud-native #Java applications on #Kubernetes.

Service mesh alleviates most of the common distributed computing pain points like smart routing, traffic splitting, canaries, etc. In this session, we will explore on how to download, set up Istio on your local laptop, and deploy Java microservices as part of the Istio service mesh with Istio sidecar proxy.
