Envoy is an open source, high-performance edge/middle/service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. 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.

...Instantly add latency-aware load balancing, request retries, timeouts, and blue-green deploys to keep your applications resilient. Incredibly small and blazing fast Linkerd2-proxy micro-proxy written in Rust for security and performance. Self-contained control plane, incrementally deployable data plane, and lots and lots of diagnostics and debugging tools. Transparently add mutual TLS to any on-cluster TCP communication with no configuration. Designed by engineers, for engineers.

Kuma is a modern Envoy-based service mesh that can run on every cloud, in a single or multi-zone capacity, across both Kubernetes and VMs. Thanks to its broad universal workload support, combined with native support for Envoy as its data plane proxy technology (but with no Envoy expertise required), Kuma provides modern L4-L7 service connectivity, discovery, security, observability, routing, and more across any service on any platform, databases included. Easy to use, with built-in service mesh policies for security, traffic control, discovery, observability, and more, Kuma ships with advanced multi-zone and multi-mesh support that automatically enables cross-zone communication across different clusters and clouds, and automatically propagates service mesh policies across the infrastructure. ...

...The OSM project builds on the ideas and implementations of many cloud-native ecosystem projects including Linkerd, Istio, Consul, Envoy, Kuma, Helm, and the SMI specification. OSM runs an Envoy based control plane on Kubernetes, can be configured with SMI APIs, and works by injecting an Envoy proxy as a sidecar container next to each instance of your application. The proxy contains and executes rules around access control policies, implements routing configuration, and captures metrics. The control plane continually configures proxies to ensure policies and routing rules are up to date and ensures proxies are healthy.

twemproxy (pronounced "two-em-proxy"), aka nutcracker is a fast and lightweight proxy for memcached and redis protocol. It was built primarily to reduce the number of connections to the caching servers on the backend. This, together with protocol pipelining and sharding enables you to horizontally scale your distributed caching architecture. Fast and lightweight. Maintains persistent server connections.
