Unleash Declarative Data Access with GraphQL

summary
Built GraphQL into Envoy so the proxy and gateway are one component, eliminating a separate GraphQL deployment and removing an extra network hop. Sidecars discover services (gRPC via reflection, OpenAPI, WSDL), auto-generate GraphQL schemas using logic like GraphQL Mesh, and expose stitchable schemas. Resolvers become declarative resolver YAML that call backends; Envoy reuses routing and circuit‑breaking via the Envoy filter chain. Demo shows live schema generation and queries translated to gRPC responses, working end to end.
