HOW QUORA INTEGRATED A SERVICE MESH IN THEIR BACKEND

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A service mesh is a software layer that manages communication between services in applications. It is a configurable infrastructure layer that makes communication between microservice applications possible, structured, and observable. Quora implemented a service mesh in its backend to improve observability, reliability, and developer productivity. Since the deployment of the service mesh, Quora has successfully integrated hundreds of services, using features like canary deployments and load balancing with precise traffic controls.
