Envoy, Take the Wheel - Real-time Adaptive Circuit Breaking

Envoy, Take the Wheel - Real-time Adaptive Circuit Breaking

Explore real-time adaptive circuit breaking in Envoy through this 34-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Dive deep into Envoy's Adaptive Concurrency Control feature, which dynamically tunes circuit breaker thresholds using real-time sampling of request latencies. Learn about simulating traffic, concurrency and circuit breaking concepts, and the challenges of properly configuring circuit breakers. Discover how adaptive concurrency control works, its behavior in various scenarios, and practical experiences from its deployment in Lyft's production service mesh. Gain insights into configuring adaptive concurrency, its impact on bad deploys, and how it responds to service degradation and upstream dependency issues.
