Installing Istio with its default configuration gives you basic service mesh, observability, and tracing — but that’s just the beginning.
In this session, I’ll share real-world scenarios from high-traffic production environments where Istio truly shines.
You’ll see live examples of how to apply traffic mirroring, hash-based routing, and custom load-balancing to improve reliability and deployment safety at scale.
If you’ve ever wondered how teams actually use Istio beyond the defaults, this talk will show you how to unlock its full potential.
