Envoy: Modern Proxy server with HTTP 1.1 and 2, GRPC supported reverse proxy

You can also find more information about Envoy on the Istio home page. Istio basically packages up Envoy for Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, and helps with the management of it.<p>The Istio home page probably does a better job of explaining &quot;why?&quot; than the envoy home page; the envoy home page is better at explaining &quot;what?&quot;.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;istio.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;istio.io&#x2F;</a>

The docs are pretty light on the grpc web feature. Is there a sample project anywhere that demos how to do this from the browser?

&quot;Every distributed solution is doomed to eventually reproduce Erlang, badly.&quot;

It isn&#x27;t very clear to me yet what this does. Is it like nginx for containers or is it more than that?

Interesting tags on Github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;envoyproxy&#x2F;envoy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;envoyproxy&#x2F;envoy</a><p>Seems like it&#x27;s the only cats-over-dogs project so far. But not for long ;)

Looks pretty neat. Our GRPC services are currently bundled with a JSON-REST proxy as well as a GRPC-WEB proxy in the service itself and then placed behind an NGINX k8s Ingress. This could be a really nice way to extract those proxies as a sidecar.

Last I looked, envoy is fantastically hard to build. Have fun downloading, building and installing all these yourself: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;envoyproxy.github.io&#x2F;envoy&#x2F;install&#x2F;requirements.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;envoyproxy.github.io&#x2F;envoy&#x2F;install&#x2F;requirements.html</a>
