Multi-region Service Mesh: Building and Operating with Kuma and Envoy

Discover how Koyeb, a serverless cloud provider, built and operates a multi-region service mesh using Kuma and Envoy in this 19-minute conference talk. Explore the process of creating a globally distributed mesh for inter-service connectivity across multiple cloud providers and continents. Learn about the custom stack built with a multi-region service mesh using Kuma, an open-source control plane for orchestrating Envoy proxies. Gain insights into the key decisions made during development, the resulting architecture, and the purpose-built stack based on Nomad, Firecracker, and Kuma. Examine the global components, service mesh implementation, and the challenges faced in creating this distributed connectivity solution. Dive into the Kuma stack, control plane, data pass, and zone ingress, understanding why Kuma was chosen for this project.
