About Envoy
As on the ground microservice practitioners quickly realize, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application. Envoy is a self contained, high performance server with a small memory footprint. It runs alongside any application language or framework. Envoy supports advanced load balancing features including automatic retries, circuit breaking, global rate limiting, request shadowing, zone local load balancing, etc. Envoy provides robust APIs for dynamically managing its configuration.
