Confluent Cloud leverages Istio service mesh in its control plane to secure, observe and route traffic between microservices at scale processing millions of requests per second. In this case study we will explore how Istio service mesh was incrementally adopted at Confluent providing a uniform identity model using SPIRE and advanced observability using OpenTelemetry. We will go over our Istio adoption journey - from securing traffic using mTLS to advanced multi cluster routing and share our experiences running Istio at scale in production along with learnings to operationalize Istio for Day 2 operations.
