Envoy Maintainer Q&A

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Envoy's roadmap prioritizes adding HTTP/3 (driven by Google) and stabilizing WebAssembly-based extensions through the proxy-wasm project (current spec ~0.1/0.2). The maintainer Q&A notes WebAssembly filters can run at roughly half the throughput of native C++ for simple string-heavy paths due to extra copies and unoptimized glue, release cadence is quarterly with one-year security support, and control-plane libraries will be versioned separately with a planned 1.0 target.
