Mixer out-of-process adapter for Knative

Demonstrates a Mixer out-of-process adapter which implements the Knative scale-from-zero logic. This post demonstrates how you can use Mixer to push application logic into Istio. It describes a Mixer adapter which implements the Knative scale-from-zero logic with simple code and similar performance to the original implementation.

Knative Serving builds on Kubernetes to support deploying and serving of serverless applications. A core capability of serverless platforms is scale-to-zero functionality which reduces resource usage and cost of inactive workloads. A new mechanism is required to scale from zero when an idle application receives a new request.

Along came Kubernetes (container orchestration) in 2014, followed by Istio (container service management) in 2017. Both open-source projects enable developers to scale container-based applications without spending too much time on administration tasks.

Linkerd or Istio?

This week I set out to write a post comparing Istio and Linkerd, and I told myself: I’m going to create tables comparing features, and it’s going to be great and people will love and the world will be happier for a few seconds. I promised myself It was going to be a fair comparison without bias from any end. While the ‘comparison table’ is still here, I shifted the focus of the article: the goal is not on which is better, but which is better for you, for your applications, for your organization.

Visualizing Istio external traffic with Kiali

Suppose that you have an application using several third party services to store files, send messages, write tweets, etc. It is useful to know how much traffic is going off your mesh to these services, for example, you might want to know how many requests are directed to twitter or how much data is being sent to Dropbox. Also knowing if these requests are successful or if they fail.
