Service mesh — traffic, mTLS & resilience — POC
The angle. As microservices multiply, security and routing between services become the hard part. A service mesh industrialises them.
What I prototype
- Automatic mTLS between services (encryption + identity), zero-trust.
- Traffic management: canary, blue/green, retries, timeouts, circuit-breaking.
- Native observability: traces, metrics, call topology.
- Istio vs Linkerd comparison (complexity, footprint, use cases).
