Service mesh architecture proposes a unique approach for control plane management (including load balancing). This talk goes over the options available for gRPC load-balancing in the context of a gRPC integration in a service mesh.
In this talk, we will cover:
various load balancing options available for gRPC and the tradeoff associated with each one of them.
load balancing at scale with and without gRPC lookaside load balancing.
proxy based load balancing and Service Mesh along with considerations when using them as an alternative to lookaside gRPC load balancing.
how unified endpoint management can be achieved for Health check and load metric reporting for both gRPC load balancing and Service Mesh.
Vishal is passionate about working (and trying to solve) scalable distributed systems problems. He currently works at Google, where he is helping build general load balancing solutions for gRPC and Cloud.
