Ben (Just Football) will talk about their journey with Kubernetes and microservices from the world of HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2.0 and gRPC. He will talk about the reasons for moving, and the best practices Just Football adopted for using gRPC in production, including monitoring + design decisions and distribution of gRPC proto + clients. Kevin (Buoyant) will cover how Linkerd provides Just Football with observability and load balancing for their gRPC services. He’ll also describe how the Linkerd project itself employs multiple gRPC features to facilitate robust communication between its control plane and its data plane.
