Thanks for the response Terry! I’ve had a play with Gloo too, and it looks to be a promising bit of tech. However, I wouldn’t say this “achieves” the overall concept of facilitating a transition from a monolith to microservices, as there are many ways to approach this problem, and accordingly many different technologies to potentially deploy.

Out of curiosity, are you running Gloo in production (an ideally at scale)? If so, and if you were interested in sharing your learning with the InfoQ community by writing something like an experience report then I would definitely be keen to help! I’m currently in the process of putting together a service mesh/proxy series e.g. https://www.infoq.com/articles/istio-future-service-mesh
