Istio

Istio is an open-source platform that helps manage the communication between microservices, which are small, independent parts of a software application. It enhances security, provides monitoring, and simplifies the routing of requests between these services. By using Istio, developers can control how different services talk to each other, enforce policies, and gather insights into their performance, all without modifying the individual services. This makes applications more reliable and easier to manage, especially as they grow larger and more complex.
