Bret is joined by Lee Calcote and Nic Jackson, co-authors of the Service Mesh Patterns book, to discuss service mesh for Docker Desktop and Compose apps with the new Meshery extension for Docker desktop.

They talk about what service mesh is and go into the new Measure extension for Docker Desktop, which is a CNCF sandbox project. One of its bigger features is to help you try out different service meshes and test them with only a few clicks. They also cover other features of their tools, such as the beta of MeshMap which helps you visualize your clusters and apply better practices to your service mesh.

Streamed live on YouTube on September 22, 2022. Includes demos.
