Intro: Envoy

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Envoy is a C++14 high‑performance sidecar and edge proxy that adds about ~1 ms of latency while handling service discovery, tracing, retries and mutual TLS; it runs as out‑of‑process and supports HTTP/2 natively plus L4 TCP proxying for Redis, MongoDB, etc. Configuration uses streaming xDS (LDS, RDS, CDS, EDS, SDS) APIs with eventual consistency and bootstrap via a control plane (Istio, Solo, Ambassador or custom). Extensibility comes from C++ extensions, Lua (HTTP only, alpha) and WebAssembly (WIP); TLS offload is not yet implemented.
