Dubbo service mesh enables workloads to join natively, receive policies from the control plane via xDS, and gain capabilities such as load balancing, service discovery, and observability.
Warning
The current version is in the Alpha phase.
Releases 0.4.6–0.4.9 will be in the Beta phase.
Release 0.5.0 will be the first RC version.
Dubbo’s control plane provides an abstraction layer over the underlying cluster management platform.
Dubbo component composition:
- dubbod — Dubbo xDS control plane. It provides service discovery, configuration and certificate issuance.
- dxproxy — Dubbo Inherent inbound mTLS proxy. It runs beside the workload to accept mesh traffic and forward it locally; outbound routing remains SDK-native.
- dxgate — Dubbo delegated gateway for Gateway API. It consumes routing configuration from dubbod over xDS and proxies north-south traffic into the mesh.
Projects are distributed across the code directory repositories:
-
api. — Defines the component level APIs for the Dubbo control plane.
-
xds-api. — Define the xDS API for the Dubbo control plane.
-
client-go. — Defines the Kubernetes clients automatically generated for Dubbo control plane resources.
-
dubboctl. — Provides dubboctl command line tools for control plane management and other operations.
-
dubbod — The main code directory for the Dubbo control plane.
-
operator. — Provides user friendly options for operating the service mesh.
-
dxgate — Provides the delegated gateway that serves Gateway API traffic at the mesh edge.
-
dxproxy — Provides the Inherent inbound mTLS proxy that accepts mesh traffic on the workload's behalf.
-
gui — Provides the console that aggregates the management API across discovered control planes.
