Timbala has no operational dependencies.
Timbala uses the Go programming language.
It is assumed that Timbala will run in a trusted environment.
Communications between nodes and from nodes to clients is unauthenticated and unencrypted. Please see this GitHub issue for more details.
You should use a reverse HTTP proxy if you wish to add Transport Layer Encryption or add authentication to Timbala's HTTP APIs. One way to do so would be to use a service mesh such as Istio.
Timbala has no concept of users or tenants; a request to the Timbala API can read and write to all data.
