Porting DJ to App Mesh

Now that the Injector, CRDs, and App Mesh Controller are defined and running, we’re ready to define the App Mesh components required for our service mesh-enabled version of the app.

As we move to this new architecture, what will it look like, and how will it be different?

App Mesh

Functionally, the service mesh-enabled version will do exactly what the current version does; requests made by dj will be served by either the metal-v1, or the jazz-v1 services. The difference will be that we’ll use App Mesh to create new Virtual Services called metal and jazz.

The metal and jazz Virtual Services will then call their metal-v1 and jazz-v1 counterparts accordingly, based on the Virtual Services’ routing rules.
