Navigating the mesh: Istio for Python applications

Managing how microservices communicate with each other can quickly become overwhelming in large scale systems. Specially for non-cloud antive applications that we want to migrate to Kubernetes like environments. Ensuring secure connections, balancing traffic, and tracking interactions across services is critical.

During this session, we will introduce the concept of a service mesh and explain why it’s essential for modern microservices architectures. From there, we’ll explore Istio and how it can be used with Python applications to handle these challenges seamlessly. By the end of this talk, you’ll understand how Istio can help you simplify operations, enhance security, and improve observability for Python microservices.

Whether you’re new to service meshes or looking for practical ways to adopt Istio in your Python ecosystem, this session will provide clear and actionable steps to get started.

If managing microservices feels like a continuous battle, Istio might just be the tool you need...
