Envoy Deep Dive
summary
Four lightning demos and a Q&A show concrete deployments: Booking.com uses Envoy to detect hidden failures (requests duplicating DB writes, zeroed timeouts, minute-by-minute developer cron spikes) after a two-month migration; Squarespace ships a mesh discovery service that maps Consul to xDS v2 and scrapes Envoy with Prometheus for live listener/cluster dashboards; Gimble combines Contour+Envoy for multi‑cluster OpenStack/Kubernetes ingress but currently requires routable IPs; SPIRE issues and rotates mTLS certs to Envoy via a workload API and a spire‑helper.
