https://www.lucavallin.com/blog/tags/open-source Platform Engineer at Xebia, focused on AI platform engineering - the infrastructure behind reliable, observable, scalable AI and cloud-native workloads. I work primarily in Go and Google Cloud, with deep experience in Kubernetes, containers, and end-to-end observability - and a strong interest in networking and lower-level systems work in Rust. My current focus is the platform layer beneath AI: inference serving infrastructure on Kubernetes, AI gateway and MCP connectivity, agentic workload orchestration, and end-to-end observability for GenAI systems. My broader experience is full-stack: strong on backend, with solid frontend and mobile knowledge. I contribute to open source, write on my blog, and pick up the occasional talk, training, or meetup when something interesting comes up. I'm a Google Developer Expert (GDE) and a CNCF Ambassador. For a deeper dive, see my blog. If you're new to open source, check out Verto.sh. For mentorship, I'm on Mentorcruise. Outside of work, activities like photography, motorcycling, playing a handpan and cleaning litterboxes keep me occupied 🐈. en-us Luca Cavallin Luca Cavallin Tue, 03 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.lucavallin.com/blog/my-post-about-istio-is-now-on-the-istio-blog-too https://www.lucavallin.com/blog/my-post-about-istio-is-now-on-the-istio-blog-too A few months ago I published a post titled "The Istio Service Mesh for People Who Have Stuff to Do". The post was well-received and it's now available on the Istio.io blog too.

In this post, I explain how Istio handles traffic routing, security with mTLS, and observability, making complex systems more resilient and efficient.

I also wanted to make sure that the projects were easy to build and test. In this post, I will share my experience and the best practices I found for structuring C projects.
