At the [Distributed SQL Summit 2020] , Christoph Pakulski, software engineer at [Tetrate] , and Prasad Radhakrishnan, VP of data engineering at Yugabyte presented the talk “[Envoy and Service Meshes for Databases: What the Future Holds] ”. In the talk, they explored the topics of Envoy, service meshes–specifically Istio, and how they intersect with the database world. Christoph explained the [Envoy PostgreSQL network filter extension] released earlier in the year, and showed it in action out-of-the-box with YugabyteDB, a PostgreSQL-compatible database. The talk ended with a look into future enhancements to further streamline app dev with Envoy and YugabyteDB.
