Day zero service mesh: opportunities, obstacles, and sidecars

Is service mesh the future of application connectivity? It delivers immediate value to any architecture by increasing application traffic’s security, reliability and observability. But at the same time, it can be challenging to understand the concept, how to adopt it and deploy it in production. In this talk, we will go over the pros and cons of service mesh and discuss the biggest challenges teams usually face.

In this webinar Viktor will walk you through:

• How to easily set up service mesh across multiple environments.
• How to automatically enable security and observability on any network.
• Should you use a reverse-proxy process, aka sidecar?

After a 30 minutes talk, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A. We’d like to encourage you to submit your questions in advance.
