This article explains MOSN v1.5.0's latency‑based load‑balancing algorithm, analyzes the sources of latency in distributed systems, describes mitigation techniques such as PeakEWMA and P2C, and presents a realistic simulation that shows the algorithm’s superiority over Round Robin and Least Request.
This article details Ant Group's evolution from monolithic applications to microservices and its large‑scale adoption of Service Mesh, describing the motivations, challenges, architecture, multi‑mesh capabilities, and the design of a cloud‑native application runtime built on MOSN to decouple applications from infrastructure.
Ant Group’s Service Mesh experience reveals that while MOSN’s extensive feature integration boosts capabilities, it also introduces significant R&D efficiency challenges such as large change volumes, centralized releases, and quality assurance, prompting the development of Test Mesh, health metrics, low‑impact high‑frequency deployments, and advanced diagnostic tools.
This article presents a comprehensive overview of Ant Financial's ServiceMesh implementation, detailing the background, architecture, key features of SOFAMesh and MOSN, technical case studies, performance benchmarks, security capabilities, and future outlook for cloud‑native network proxies.
