By adding the dependency and annotating the main class with `@EnableIstio`, developers can automatically create VirtualServices, Gateways, and DestinationRules without writing Istio YAML manually. The tutorial walks through setting up Minikube with Istio, deploying a sample Spring Boot app, enabling fault injection, and implementing header-based traffic routing between two application versions (v1/v2). The library is aimed at simplifying Istio onboarding for Java developers, especially in development environments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
