I'm happy for the guys at Bouyant, they've been great to work with in the past.

There's a very large complexity payment inherent in the new "cloud native" architectures that fundamentally isn't worth it for a large swath of use cases. Conduit, at first glance, appears like it might solve a large portion of it. If there's anything the last 10 years have shown us as an industry, it's that convention and programmer ease of use are the most important qualities of a new framework or way of working.

Rails / Go / K8S dominating Mesos / Containers over Jails / Maven over ANT / on and on. ActiveRecord is great, and Rails routing is great. Together they are magical for what they provide a user. Envoy is great. Istio is great. But there isn't a simplistic way to unify them even though for 95% of the industry it appears their functionality should go hand in hand.

We'll see if Conduit can fill that gap.

Istio actually uses Envoy as the traffic proxying layer so what do you mean by unify them?
