This is not an example of "WHEN Not to do Microservices". It is a perfect demonstration of "HOW not to do Microservices". The design of the Istio control plane is a dog's breakfast…

Some famous runner who's name I can't remember and probably didn't exist anyway once said "I can't run 200 miles. But I can run 1 mile - 200 times". Start from page 1 and iterate f…
