Manage Envoy Proxy as a Standalone or Kubernetes-based API Gateway.
Gateway API are used to dynamically provision and configure the managed Envoy Proxies.
Expressive API
Based on Gateway API, with reasonable default settings to simplify the Envoy user experience, without knowing details of Envoy proxy.
Batteries included
Automatically Envoy infrastructure provisioning and management.
All environments
Support for heterogeneous environments. Initially, Kubernetes will receive the most focus.
Extensibility
Vendors will have the ability to provide value-added products built on the Envoy Gateway foundation.
Security
Supports a variety of Security features, such as TLS, TLS pass-through, secure gRPC, authentication. rate-limiting, etc.
High Performance
Built on top of the high-performance Envoy proxy, which can handle millions of requests per second.
Lower barriers to adoption through Expressive, Extensible, Role-oriented APIs
Support a multitude of ingress and L7/L4 traffic routing
Common foundation for vendors to build value-added products
Without having to re-engineer fundamental interactions.
Member of the Envoy Proxy family aimed at significantly decreasing the barrier to entry when using Envoy for API Gateway.
