Abstract:
Istio, seen as the leading service mesh model, was released its 1.0 in July 2018. It has generated massive interest, judging from conference talks and blogs. Have you ever wondered how I can develop a cloud-native microservice deployed on Istio and be confident about its performance? In other words, what is the programming model for developing such a cloud-native microservice? Eclipse MicroProfile comes to rescue. In this session, we will look closely on MicroProfile specifications and demonstrate how MicroProfile can help microservice performing well on Istio and utilize Istio features with a live demo. After this session, you should understand Istio and MicroProfile and be able to design a simple microservice using MicroProfile and deploy to Istio.
