Service mesh presents distributed systems with a comprehensive solution for managing intricacies in network traffic, security, observability, and resilience. Within the dynamic, yet complex landscape of financial services, many organizations utilize service mesh to establish and maintain secure communication for significant array of microservices. Adopting such security measure ultimately results in strengthening IAM, enabling encryption, enforcing security policies, and facilitating compliance monitoring.
Many financial services organizations, however, face challenges in adopting service mesh for their cloud native modernization approach.
This talk aims to explore the real-world use cases and lessons learned in the realm of service mesh, with special emphasis on its integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem, as well as configuring and managing service mesh policies for financial services applications, empowering to build scalable, resilient, and efficient microservice architectures.
