From the Docker Dublin MeetUp, June 2019. Talking about service meshes – Linkerd and Istio in particular. It’s a technical session so there are lots of demos, but it’s grounded in the practical question – do you really need a service mesh, and is it worth the cost? You’ll learn what a service mesh can do, and how it helps to cut a lot of infrastructure concerns from your code.

16. YOUR SERVICE MESH IS NOT FREE
Here at Shopify, we’re working
on deploying Istio as our service
mesh. We’re doing quite well,
but are hitting a wall: Cost.
