In this follow-up webinar to the KubeCon 2024 session of the same name, experts Louis Ryan, CTO at Solo.io and co-creator of Istio and gRPC, and Christian Posta, Global Field CTO at Solo.io, explore and discuss:
Building complex systems often requires simplicity in components—a lesson the Istio project has learned throughout its seven(plus)-year journey. Although Istio offers a lot of powerful features for application networking, crucial for many organizations, the path to maturity and broader adoption has been fraught with challenges.
- Key mistakes made during Istio’s development, including a complex architecture, overload of features, premature release of version 1.0, difficulties faced by contributors and delays in joining the CNCF
- Impacts of these mistakes and how they’ve been addressed to help position Istio as a leader in the service mesh market
- How Istio’s evolution reflects a shift toward a simpler, more modular components that together offer effective solutions for managing APIs and service-to-service communication regardless of platform
