Enhancing app robustness in Kubernetes, especially when dealing with large scales, can seem tough. With this talk I'll make this easier to grasp. We'll zero in on how service meshes like Istio & Linkerd can be used to improve how we analyze traffic and spot regressions in big-scale operations.

From my own experiences, I'll show you how these service mesh techniques have really upped the game in app performance and reliability when things get big. Take, for example, how we used service mesh data to mimic really busy traffic times. This helped us find and fix weak spots early, making our systems lot tougher.

Key Takeaways:

- Understanding the nuts and bolts of boosting app toughness in Kubernetes at large scales.
- How service meshes can be a big help in handling traffic and testing for issues.
- Real-life stories that show how these methods made a difference.
- Practical steps to bring these strategies into your Kubernetes projects.
