AUGUST 18, 2023

Service mesh emerged as a response to the growing popularity of cloud-native environments, microservices architecture, and Kubernetes. While Kubernetes helped resolve deployment challenges, the communication between microservices remained a source of unreliability. were not optimized.

As many of you likely know, Citus is an open source PostgreSQL extension that turns Postgres into a distributed database. PostgreSQL 16 has introduced a new feature for load balancing multiple servers with libpq, that lets you specify a connection parameter called load_balance_hosts. Postgres 16 support in Citus 12.1

Consul is quite flexible and the monitoring system has numerous metrics. We can even choose metrics for monitoring containers. . The main benefit of Consul, as opposed to microservices architecture, is that microservices architecture is quite complex. This Consul solution capability is named Service Mesh.

Even analyzing flat HTTP request logs from your cloud provider’s load balancer can give you insight into what requests are slow and exactly how slow they are. An observability solution can ingest these logs and surface to you the high-cardinality dimensions of HTTP parameters/endpoints, user agents, and source IP addresses.
