Workshop (Separate Registration): Building Reliable, Transparent and Performant Cloud Native Applications with gRPC and Istio

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.
Together with the leaders in full-stack architectures, we bring you an all -star workshop on the modern microservice architectures as done by Google, Salesforce, Lyft, Starbucks, and other great companies. 

This is a paid workshop preceding the conference.  It requires a separate registration; discounted packages are available together with the conference.
In this special one day hands-on workshop you will learn how to take a Cloud Native Application from inception to production.  Starting with a base sample application we will learn how to break the application into separate services that communicate via gRPC.  We will learn how to take that application into production using Kubernetes.  Next we will look at the challenges of reliable service communication in a complex topology of services. The last part of the workshop will layer in Istio to create a service mesh for advance security, traffic management and telemetry.
This workshop will be taught by a unique team of engineers who have helped build Istio and taken it into production.      
Some of the topics to be covered include:
  • Service communication using Protobuf 3 and gRPC
  • Overview of Kubernetes
  • Building a Service Mesh with Istio
  • Using Envoy to create reliable service to service communication
  • Advanced usages of Envoy for traffic management and secure communication
  • In-depth observability using telemetry and distributed tracing
  • Releasing new services with Canary deployments
