Envoy Proxy is an open-source edge and service proxy that is specifically designed for cloud-native applications. As the majority of operational problems in distributed architectures often stem from networking and observability, Envoy aims to address these challenges in a scalable and efficient manner. Originally developed at Lyft, Envoy is a high-performance C++ distributed proxy that caters to both single services and applications.

It functions as a communication bus and universal data plane for large microservice service mesh architectures. With its out-of-process architecture, Envoy runs alongside any application language or framework and provides common features for network abstraction. Envoy offers a range of features such as support for HTTP/2 and gRPC, advanced load balancing capabilities, APIs for configuration management, and deep observability of L7 traffic.

By leveraging Envoy's capabilities, teams can easily visualize problem areas, optimize performance, and introduce additional features across their entire infrastructure. Experience the power of Envoy Proxy and take your cloud-native applications to the next level. Get started with Envoy Proxy today by downloading the latest version.
