By safely duplicating production traffic to a shadow environment, teams can replicate elusive bugs, profile performance under actual load, validate new features, and detect regressions, ensuring that production remains isolated and user experiences intact.</p> <i>By Apoorv Mittal</i> Microservices Service Mesh Istio Performance Evaluation Deployment Kubernetes AWS DevOps Architecture & Design article Mon, 09 Jun 2025 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/microservices-traffic-mirroring-istio-vpc/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Istio-articles Apoorv Mittal 2025-06-09T11:00:00Z /articles/microservices-traffic-mirroring-istio-vpc/en
