Service Mesh provides a new angle to provide observability, no matter the architecture or language. In the traditional way, we needed language agents or SDK to observe the application server status. Since service mesh provides full control of RPC, observability is much easier to be added without language specific technology. In this session, we will demonstrate an open source integration solution based on Envoy and SkyWalking. Without code injection technology or Istio Mixer, we could build telemetry from Envoy and analysis in SkyWalking, with good performance. The user could get the service topology map, metrics graph, request detail and error message, with a very nice visualization.
