You Should Not Use a Service Mesh

Explore the controversial topic of service mesh adoption in this thought-provoking conference talk from Devoxx Poland 2022. Delve into the evolution from monoliths to microservices, examining the role of control planes, proxy libraries, and service mesh technologies like Istio. Analyze traffic management, capacity considerations, network latency, and architectural implications. Challenge common assumptions about service mesh implementation and gain insights into when it may or may not be necessary for your infrastructure. Conclude with a Q&A session to address specific concerns and scenarios related to service mesh deployment in modern software development.
