Thanks for sharing! That's currently an uncommon change but I must admit you explained it well.

Quick question for the team: did you consider or try Consul as a service mesh ?

1 comments

Hi!

Yann, co-founder at Koyeb, here.

Yes, we considered Consul as a service mesh but found that it was too strongly coupled with the network and task layer of Nomad. We were looking for something highly customizable which wouldn't get into the way.

Also, the multi-tenancy features are paid features, which might have been difficult to sustain economically for us.

If things like multi-tenancy are required and the project (Consul) is open-source would adding that functionality yourselves not be in-scope given the amount of work you've already put into your setup?

I ask as a theoretical what-if.
