Lyft’s Envoy and the Emerging Prospects of Service Mesh Architecture

Episode Summary

How best should an organization transition its old behemoth monolith architecture into the bright shiny new world of microservices? The principal software engineer of the brightest and shiniest service out there, Lyft, tells us you don't have to. Matt Klein told The New Stack Scott Fulton at PagerDuty Summit 2017, that a start up, just like Lyft was a few short years ago, can develop its own monolith more easily than it can develop complex microservices. But with an underlying service mesh architecture, such as Klein's Envoy, that monolith can still be providing service-oriented functions to customers in the same way, and probably without service degradation.
