Decentralized Routing for Sharded Applications on Service Mesh

Explore decentralized routing for sharded applications on service mesh in this 34-minute conference talk by Vinay Gonuguntla and Pankaj Sikka from Intuit. Learn how Intuit addresses the challenges of scaling monolithic applications through horizontal sharding and the complexities of maintaining static mappings for millions of users and thousands of services. Discover their innovative approach to decentralizing sharded routing using WASM to extend Envoy in a service mesh environment. Gain insights into the limitations of traditional API Gateway routing and the benefits of client-side proxy routing in service mesh architectures. Witness a demonstration of Intuit's solution for implementing lookup-based dynamic routing to destination shards, overcoming the out-of-the-box limitations of service mesh technologies like Envoy.
