Learn how to combine API Management and microservice mesh governance to streamline how you build, manage, analyze, and extend digital services.

2. What will we talk about?
What a traditional API governance deployment looks like and
why this isn’t necessarily a good fit for managing
microservices.
What is a service mesh and how does it help?
We’ll create a "Hello World" service, deploy it in a service
mesh, create a proxy for it and then publish it in a catalogue.

3. Microservices with a traditional API Gateway
All of your governed
traffic passes
through here. Even if
this is a cluster, it
still represents a
single point of
failure.
This undermines the
benefits a resilient
microservices
architecture is
meant to deliver.

4. Microservices with microgateways
A Service Mesh
assigns a gateway to
each service, which
means that your
governed traffic is
just as distributed as
your services.

Even when
your dev
teams are
delivering
services
continuously,
they have to
depend on an
external team
to deploy
proxy
definitions.

In a Service Mesh
architecture, the gateway is
deployed as part of the CI/CD
process. Your governance
deployment grows and
shrinks alongside your
services.
