Dark Launching Into the Meshy Unknown
Abruptly changing your application to send all traffic through a mysterious "proxy sidecar"; what would possibly go wrong?! But they tell you if take this journey, you'll be rewarded with better security, observability, and traffic management! All you have to do is gamble on the chance of a major network outage that'll leave your application unreachable. What's there to be afraid of? For many operators and developers, service mesh moves us closer to the goal of making applications first-class on the network. The challenge we still run into is the infamous "code cutover". The concept of "dark launching" opens the door for greater control over the deployment and release of our configurations, enabling us to deliver our changes to specific groups and users (or even percentages of all users) but more importantly - it gives us the ability to disable these changes if everything goes wrong. Join Cody from LaunchDarkly as we explore a bit about what a service mesh is, and how we can use the idea of "dark launching" to make that unknown a little less scary!
