The open source, AI-native proxy, created by @soloio_inc to optimize connectivity, security and observability for AI agentic software, has joined the @linuxfoundation. By @sjvn thenewstack.io/why-tech-giant…

@boshen_c I've seen fairly similar - blog.howardjohn.info/posts/go-build…. I think Go's compile speed is way over hyped

They say Go compilation speed is super fast compared to Rust. But I don't know what I am doing wrong for tsgo, cold build takes 4 minutes and 14 seconds for warm build 🥲 #RustLang #GoLang

@HelmPack @mattfarina What is in Helm 4? I've read quite a bit of Helm 4 content and not yet seen any indication of what is changed

The first alpha for #helm4 is out! Check out @mattfarina’s blog post outlining the planned timeline leading up to our release in mid-Nov at #KubeCon 🍂 helm.sh/blog/path-to-h…

@serathius @Itsuugo Oh but I guess you don't want the full encoded thing in memory at once. So you probably would need some sort of lazy Buffer implementation maybe - not sure it would work end to end

@serathius @Itsuugo Basically you can give it [][]byte instead of []byte when you encode now (@v1.72.1/encoding#CodecV2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pkg.go.dev/google.golang.…). In my case we have a repeated `Any` so we not only wanted to split up the bytes but not have to copy them (Any already is basically just wrapping []byte)

kubernetes.io/blog/2025/05/0… this is impressive

@alexellisuk @makrand_san @tsaha Yep, we cut out most of them in 2020

@_howardjohn @makrand_san @tsaha For a full installation? Wasn’t it 53 previously? discuss.istio.io/t/getting-isti…

How did we end up here? 19 crds!

@makrand_san @alexellisuk @tsaha 14

@alexellisuk @tsaha Whats the crd count with istio?

@ibuildthecloud @GoLandIDE On top of this formatting has been broken for me - half the time it formats imports it just mangles the whole file..

THE INDEXING IN @GoLandIDE HAS GOTTEN SO BAD LATELY. It's so frustrating the amount of out of sync index issues I keep hitting. The quality of goland releases has gone down. The bar is high for their products and it just take one or two major bugs to sour the experience.

@xu_paco @wzshiming Nice! Curious, how is it beta if the containerd support just merged? Was it implemented in a different way before and now can use native containerd implementation or something?

@wzshiming ‘s PR github.com/containerd/con… image volume support in containerd was merged 👍 and the KEP in kubernetes will be beta in v1.33

@IstioMesh blog.howardjohn.info/posts/external…

Today marks exactly 6 years from my first commit of a long journey to make @IstioMesh scale. When I first started, a 100 pod mesh was a "big" mesh. Today, we can handle anything - 100 *million* pods and beyond! Service mesh scalability is a solved problem. Link 👇

Top KubeCon question: "Does ambient mesh scale?" Yes, but a more useful question is "How much effort does it take to scale"? blog.howardjohn.info/posts/scaling-… covers this in depth.

Istio 1.24 is out today, and it's kind of a big deal. istio.io/latest/news/re…

@cmanolache @linsun_unc Yep exactly, goal was to show HTTP processing overhead (or lack of overhead, really). The aggregate data throughput here is not huge, something like 50Mb/s or so -- bottleneck here is more latency than throughput since its a bunch of tiny messages.

@_howardjohn @linsun_unc But the interesting part is that L7 metrics are collected - I assume that's the real point, not L4 tunneling overhead ( still good to be clear if it's http2 or 1).

Powered by Gloo Ambient mesh, I was able to push through *410k requests per second*, with mTLS encryption and HTTP monitoring. All served by a single 8-core CPU (on GCP).

cloudnativenow.com/contributed-co… Ambient mode — the next-generation architecture for Istio — more than just an incremental improvement to the sidecar-based architecture. #ambientmode #istio #kubecon #multicloud

@cmanolache @linsun_unc Nope, definitely cannot do that much on 1 node with Envoy 🙂. Just Ztunnel

@_howardjohn @linsun_unc With waypoint ?

The new compute is pretty slick... its a shame they are locked to only a few regions and any quota request is instantly denied even years after release.
