Envoy
Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
...It was built by Lyft to solve the common problem of networking and observability when moving to a distributed architecture. Envoy is a proxy designed for single services and applications. Aside from that it is also a communication bus and “universal data plane” designed for large microservice “service mesh” architectures. It runs right along with every application, and abstracts the network by providing common features in a platform-agnostic manner. With Envoy, visualizing problem areas becomes a lot easier thanks to consistent observability. It also helps with overall performance tuning, and easily adding substrate features in one place.
