Proxyless Service Mesh with gRPC

Menghan Li at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020

gRPC is a popular choice for building microservices. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for communications between microservices, with features such as service discovery, load balancing, application security and observability. A service mesh typically uses sidecar proxies alongside the service instances to provide these features. In this session, we will introduce the new exciting development of service mesh features in gRPC, and show how to build a proxyless gRPC service mesh without the complexity of managing sidecar proxies. This talk will cover the architecture followed by a demo on how this works in practice.
