Raw Blame History

+++ title = "Conduit roadmap" docpage = true [menu.docs] parent = "roadmap" +++

This is the planned roadmap for Conduit. Of course, as with any software project (especially open source) even the best of plans change rapidly as development progresses.

Our goal is to get Conduit to production-readiness as rapidly as possible with a minimal featureset, then to build functionality out from there. We’ll make alpha / beta / GA designations based on actual community usage, and generally will err on the side of being overly conservative.

Status: alpha

0.3: Telemetry Stability

Late February 2018

Visibility

  • Stable, automatic top-line metrics for small-scale clusters.

Usability

  • Routing to external DNS names

Reliability

  • Least-loaded L7 load balancing
  • Improved error handling
  • Improved egress support

Development

  • Published (this) roadmap
  • All milestones, issues, PRs, & mailing lists made public

0.4: Automatic TLS; Prometheus++

Late March 2018

Usability

  • Helm integration
  • Mutating webhook admission controller

Security

  • Self-bootstrapping Certificate Authority
  • Secured communication to and within the Conduit control plane
  • Automatically provide all meshed services with cryptographic identity
  • Automatically secure all meshed communication

Visibility

  • Enhanced server-side metrics, including per-path and per-status-code counts & latencies.
  • Client-side metrics to surface egress traffic, etc.

Reliability

  • Latency-aware load balancing

0.5: Controllable Deadlines/Timeouts

Early April 2018

Reliability

  • Controllable latency objectives to configure timeouts
  • Controllable response classes to inform circuit breaking, retryability, & success rate calculation
  • High-availability controller

Visibility

  • OpenTracing integration

Security

  • Mutual authentication
  • Key rotation

0.6: Controllable Response Classification & Retries

Late April 2018

Reliability

  • Automatic alerting for latency & success objectives
  • Controllable retry policies

Routing

  • Rich ingress routing
  • Contextual route overrides

Security

  • Authorization policy

And Beyond:

  • Controller policy plugins
  • Support for non-Kubernetes services
  • Failure injection (aka "chaos chihuahua")
  • Speculative retries
  • Dark traffic
  • gRPC payload-aware tap
  • Automated red-line testing
