Programming Microservices Communication With Istio

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • java-microservice

    A full microservice architecture with Java, Spring Cloud, Log management with ELK, Server load balancing with Nginx, Infrastructure management with Docker-compose, JMX application monitoring, JWT, Aspect OP, Distributed events with Kafka, Event Sourcing, CQRS, REST, Web Sockets, Continuous deploy with Jenkins and more

    Back in 2017, I was solving many of those distributed-systems challenges using Spring Cloud with Netflix OSS; you can check out my Bootstrapping microservice project here. But Netflix OSS is for Java developers mostly and microservices can be implemented in a variety of frameworks/languages, so we should be able to handle those challenges outside the application level.

  • Eureka

    AWS Service registry for resilient mid-tier load balancing and failover.

    Service discovery — Traditionally provided by platforms like Netflix Eureka or Consul.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Zuul

    Zuul is a gateway service that provides dynamic routing, monitoring, resiliency, security, and more.

    Automatic load balancing — You might have used Netflix Zuul for this.

  • Ribbon

    Ribbon is a Inter Process Communication (remote procedure calls) library with built in software load balancers. The primary usage model involves REST calls with various serialization scheme support.

    Routing, circuit breaking, retries, fail-overs, fault injection — Think of Netflix Ribbon, Hytrix and so on.

  • Hystrix

    Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and 3rd party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.

    Routing, circuit breaking, retries, fail-overs, fault injection — Think of Netflix Ribbon, Hytrix and so on.

  • service-mesh-istio

    A microservice project leveraging Service Mesh with advanced features from Istio

    Enough talking, check out the project here.

  • consul

    Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.

    Service discovery — Traditionally provided by platforms like Netflix Eureka or Consul.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
