Manage Envoy as an Application Gateway

Envoy Gateway is an open source project that aims to make it easier to use Envoy as an API Gateway by delivering a simplified deployment model and API layer aimed at lighter use cases. Envoy Gateway provides a suite of services and features including:

Manage Envoy as an Application Gateway
  • An xDS control plane to manage a fleet of Envoys.
  • An expressive API, based on Gateway API, with reasonable default settings to simplify the Envoy user experience.
  • Support for heterogeneous environments. Note: The project initially targets Kubernetes.
  • Extensibility to support a multitude of application gateway use cases.
  • Envoy infrastructure provisioning and management.
  • High-quality documentation, tooling, and a diverse group of project maintainers for support.

Envoy Gateway makes it easy for organizations to leverage the power of Envoy for “north-south” traffic. With its support for multiple user personas, organizations can leave their existing operational models unchanged. For example, infrastructure admins can use Envoy Gateway to provision and manage fleets of Envoys while application developers can simply route application traffic to their backend services. In addition, Envoy Gateway implements the Gateway API which aims to standardize and improve all the Kubernetes APIs that are currently used for ingress.

Tetrate offers an enterprise-ready, 100% upstream distribution of Envoy Gateway, Tetrate Enterprise Gateway for Envoy (TEG). TEG is the easiest way to get started with Envoy for production use cases. Get access now ›

Envoy Background

Envoy is a highly successful open source project, as shown by its adoption in Istio, Tetrate Service Bridge, and its use in the enterprise – Lyft, Slack, and many others. Although Envoy has a wealth of capabilities, it can be daunting for a user to quickly learn and begin utilizing it. Envoy Gateway will abstract these complexities away from users. Envoy Gateway will support Envoy’s rich feature set, including:

  • Traffic management
  • Load-balancing algorithms
  • Weight-based routing
  • Priority routing
  • Circuit breakers (and other resiliency features)
  • Rate limiting
  • Request transformations
  • Authentication and authorization
  • And many others

In other words, Envoy is a feature-rich application gateway. However, it was not initially designed for application developers who routinely author application networking and security policies. Envoy Gateway was created to unlock these capabilities for application developers.
