1/15 Service Mesh: A bit of a thread.
I've seen a few posts recently questioning the value of tools like @IstioMesh and @LinkedIn, a bunch of people saying they are yet to see a good business use case. So I figured I'd share a little bit about what it looks like at AutoTrader

[Mohammad Reza Saleh @sedghpour]

I’ve learned a lot from @bol_com presentation in #KubeCon2020, they have awesome experience in service mesh. Thank you @RemzJay.

At #kubecon @james_brook and @RemzJay shares insights when considering #ServiceMesh. Even if it's not fully mature, they highlight how it has been used on the @bol_com stack. When faced to selection, multi clusters support and community support were high in the choice.

Tune in to #KubeCon at 13:00 CEST to hear @RemzJay and me explain how https://t.co/Gk7Icff0Fz adopted Istio and are running a service mesh across multiple clusters with sidecars in over 500 existing applications. https://t.co/5JzLVr3NwL @IstioMesh

We are very happy to announce the release of Istio 1.4 -- our fourth consecutive quarterly release! The theme is simplicity: simpler Authz APIs, simpler installation (check out Mixerless telemetry), and simpler troubleshooting with `istioctl analyze` https://t.co/cQafEBfSO7

@DustinKirkland I want to hear about wild wine! Do you mean wine fermented with the grapes' own natural yeast?
