Originally built at Lyft, Envoy is a high performance C++ dispensed proxy designed for single amenities and purposes, in addition to a communique bus and “usual data plane” designed for giant microservice “carrier mesh” architectures. Built on the learnings of solutions equivalent to NGINX, HAProxy, hardware load balancers, and cloud load balancers, Envoy runs along every software and abstracts the community by offering common aspects in a platform agnostic manner. When all carrier traffic in an infrastructure flows via an Envoy mesh, it becomes easy to visualize problem areas via constant observability, tune common functionality, and add substrate points in a single place.
