Envoy Gateway is a new effort within the Envoy proxy open source project to simplify Envoy use in cloud-native application development.

Key Points: 
  • Envoy Gateway is a new effort within the Envoy proxy open source project to simplify Envoy use in cloud-native application development.
  • Envoy Gateway will reduce existing, redundant efforts around Envoy and make it much easier for application developers to use Envoy as a basic API gateway out of the box and as a Kubernetes Ingress controller.
  • Exposing a simplified set of APIs, and implementing the Kubernetes Gateway API, EG makes it easier to extend Envoy.
  • Envoy Gateway will bring this needed functionality back into the main Envoy project and make it less confusing and time-consuming for developers to access Envoy.
