Great questions on credential management and transformations. These are not in the offering today, but they are on our near-term roadmap and we are very excited about their potential. As you've alluded to, there's a lot we can do there.
Great questions.
- For sensitive fields that you do not want retained or searchable, we can mask them out.
- We don't currently have integrations to push our logs to another service, but this is a good use case for us and it's on our near term roadmap.
- We use Elasticsearch in the product, but we also use CloudWatch extensively for our own operations.
- Right now we only support proxying HTTP requests, but are open to supporting other protocols.
Many of the service mesh solutions require you to deploy and manage them as an on-premise installation. Our primary offering is a hosted solution, but also offer a managed service for on-premise installations.
As you've correctly pointed out the service mesh solutions can allow routing of external traffic, but by focusing on the external calls there are features that make sense for us to build that wouldn't make sense in something like Istio/Gloo/AppMesh. For example, we can build an enhanced experience around third-party APIs to better understand the calls, errors, quotas, etc that are specific to that provider.
"Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World."
The letter is very interesting and worth a read.
Titan X, 32GB Ram, 6-core i7-5820, hot-swap SATA bays, water-cooled CPU/GPU.
Would definitely build another in the future, especially given the status of Mac Pros.
