Istio Single-Engineer Group

Istio Single-Engineer Group

The Istio SEG is a Single-Engineer Group within our Incubation Engineering Department.

Istio is an open source service mesh platform that provides a way to control how microservices share data with one another and allows users to run distributed applications at scale.

Istio solves connectivity challenges inherent to distributed services:

• Routing traffic correctly between distributed applications
• Providing retries and failsafes for connectivity issues
• Connection security
• Observability of connectivity and traffic flows.

Our aim is to provide Istio support to help our users easily deploy server-less applications and manage them from within GitLab.
