Blue-Green Deploys with Pulsar & Envoy in an Event-Driven Microservice Ecosystem

In this talk, learn how Toast leverages our Envoy control-plane to manage blue-green deploys of Pulsar consumers, and how this has helped drive adoption across the engineering organization. Dive into the history of Pulsar at Toast, starting from its introduction in 2019 to provide event-driven architecture across a rapidly scaling restaurant software platform. We will detail some of the hurdles that we encountered gaining buy-in across a diverse set of teams, and dive deep into how we enforce best practices and integrate with our service control plane.
