Are you familiar with Service Meshes? They're the dedicated infrastructure layer that facilitates seamless communication between services or microservices; making it easy to monitor and control services. Here's your opportunity to be part of the AWS Service Mesh offerings: AWS AppMesh and ECS Service Connect.

At the core of our mesh offerings lies Envoy, a versatile, open-source proxy deployed as a sidecar to intercept traffic. Are you eager to delve deep into the intricacies of service meshes, explore the capabilities of Envoy, and contribute to our Envoy Management Server (xDS)?

Join us in revolutionizing the way services communicate and collaborate in the cloud.
