Pushing Envoy Beyond the Edge
summary
Envoy Mobile embeds Envoy as native libraries for iOS and Android, ships weekly with upstream fixes, and runs as a single-process polyglot library exposing Swift/Kotlin/C++ APIs. Production experiments measure parity with platform stacks before rollout; binary overhead trims to under 5 MB, platform fixes include forcing IPv6 on Android, DNS and VPN workarounds and proxy parsing, and observability drives targeted optimizations so it now powers 98% of Lyft requests.
