Istio excels with microservices but implementing it as a service mesh for a newly containerized legacy monolith application comes with its own set of challenges. In this session, we will take you through our journey of migrating a monolithic application to Kubernetes, where Istio plays a crucial role as the service mesh. We'll delve into the intricacies of this migration, sharing the challenges we faced and the lessons we learned along the way. You'll gain insights into how we operate Istio service mesh in Adobe's Document Cloud and discover common yet critical pitfalls. Our discussion will cover issues ranging from scalability to upgrades, providing you with valuable knowledge to navigate similar migrations in your projects. By the end of this talk, you will have a clear understanding of the complexities involved and be better equipped to handle the transition of monolithic applications to Kubernetes using Istio.
