The talk abstract:

Service Mesh isn't just a buzzword; it's redefining how applications connect in the modern world. Dive deep into the transformative potential it brings by bolstering your application traffic's security, reliability, and observability.

What about the nitty-gritty details? Service Mesh seamlessly abstracts the complex network underpinnings, enriching your deployment with discovery, routing, and much more.

But, if you're a Java/JVM developer, you might question: "Isn't this already addressed by our existing frameworks?"

Join Viktor Gamov, a principal developer advocate with Kong, in this enlightening session, where he demystifies Service Mesh for the Java ecosystem. He will walk you through:

- A beginner-friendly guide to setting up in Kubernetes.

- Deploying demo Java applications (featuring Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Ktor).

- Enabling declarative traffic policies.

- Delving into the realm of observability.

And the best part? Achieve all this without entangling your setup with multiple frameworks or layers of custom code.
