2020-01-15 Wednesday - Istio moving away from a microservices architecture?

An interesting recent blog posting by Chrisian Posta: (co-author of the O'Reilly book: Introducing Istio Service Mesh for Microservices)

https://blog.christianposta.com/microservices/istio-as-an-example-of-when-not-to-do-microservices/
  • "Istio is used to help solve difficult application-networking challenges introduced by a microservices/cloud architecture, so why would Istio itself move away from a microservices architecture?"
  • "The most straight-forward answer is: The complexity of the microservices approach proved to not deliver the value or goals it intended. On the contrary, it worked against those goals."
