Improving Rate Limit Experience for Developers in Istio
Managing Rate limit configuration in Istio is a tedious task since currently, we are setting up the EnvoyFilter object to configure the rate limit function.
There are some drawbacks with this approach, developers need to understand very complex configurations within EnvoyFilter. Maintenance also becomes a problem because every time the infrastructure team wants to upgrade the mesh, Developers need to check if the rate limit configuration is working on the newer version of the mesh.
In GoPay, we are trying to improve the experience for developers to apply rate-limiting functions to their services. This is archived via Kubernetes operator that helps us abstract the details from developers.
Automate mTLS communication with GoPay partners with Istio
One of our main goals in GoPay is to automate mutual TLS communication between GoPay and our partner. We will share how we solve this problem with Istio and our self-build tools for generating short-lived time certificate from our central & private CA.
