I wish that it could be this easy for our case, (which it wasn’t). Manly because the way we wanted the application to work, plans for SEO and multiple data pipelines for business including Amplitude for client and Pubsub for application and business metrics. Making all these calls from nodejs was easy for developers just 1 more promise. Everything went smoothly as long as functional testing was required. We were ready to launch and somebody from SRE/Devops team asked: “Have you done load testing?” . Everything was superb up to this point where load testing results are required to make service live. Load Testing We started to put load to our services using apache benchmark. Very soon we realised our application is not scaling as much as we expected. To our surprise application was able to handle only 3 requ...

Istio multicluster, gotchas ....

istio.md Istio lets you connect, secure, control, and observe services. At a high level, Istio helps reduce the complexity of these deployments, and eases the strain on your development teams. It is a completely open source service mesh that layers transparently onto existing distributed applications. It is also a platform, including APIs that let it integrate into any logging platform, or telemetry or policy system. Istio’s diverse feature set lets you successfully, and efficiently, run a distributed microservice architecture, and provides a uniform way to secure, connect, and monitor microservices. In context of Vuclip istio allows us to reduce the code and environment configurations while keeping the similar or more feature sets at our disposal. Since istio is designed to bridge the gap for both development teams and SRE, it is essential to see and visualize that in practice. Istio will affect us in our ability to connect , secure(HTTPs TLS, mtls [Phase-2]), control(external comm...
