Service Mesh Expert

A solid go-to for anyone wrestling with Istio or Linkerd in production. It covers the full stack from mTLS setup and traffic splitting to multi-cluster federation and observability hooks. The workflow is practical, starting with permissive mode before locking down strict policies, which matches how most teams actually roll out service meshes. Best used when you're implementing canary deployments, debugging cross-service connectivity, or setting up zero-trust networking. The emphasis on circuit breakers and resource monitoring is smart because mesh overhead sneaks up on you. If you're already deep in Kubernetes and need to wire up secure service-to-service communication, this will save you from reinventing patterns that are well established.
