COMMUNITY
The Envoy development process is an open process. Here are the general communication channels we use to communicate.
Envoy works with the wider community to create a strong, vibrant codebase. There are a variety of projects and organizations built on top of Envoy. We will list them below in alphabetical order:
Open Source Projects Built on Envoy Proxy
Ambassador is an open source Kubernetes-native API Gateway built on Envoy, designed for microservices.
Cilium is open source software for providing and transparently securing network connectivity and loadbalancing between application workloads such as application containers or processes.
Cloud Foundry is the industry standard cloud application platform that abstracts away infrastructure so you can focus on app innovation.
The Consul Connect service mesh offers first-class support for using Envoy as a proxy
Contour is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes that works by deploying the Envoy proxy as a reverse proxy and load balancer. Unlike other Ingress controllers, Contour supports dynamic configuration updates out of the box while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Enroute Universal Gateway is an Open-Source Envoy powered Cloud-Native API Gateway created for Kubernetes Ingress and Standalone deployments
func-e makes running Envoy easy. func-e (pronounced funky) allows you to quickly see available versions of Envoy and try them out. This makes it easy to validate configuration you would use in production.
Gloo Edge is an open-source function gateway built on top of the Envoy Proxy. Gloo Edge provides a unified entry point for access to all services and serverless functions, translating from any interface spoken by a client to any interface spoken by a backend.
The Istio service mesh extends Kubernetes to establish a programmable, application-aware network using Envoy. Working with both Kubernetes and traditional workloads, Istio brings standard, universal traffic management, telemetry, and security to complex deployments.
Kuma is a platform agnostic open-source control plane for Service Mesh and Microservices. It can run and be operated natively across both Kubernetes and VM environments, making it easy to adopt by every team in the organization.
Gloo Mesh delivers connectivity, security, observability, and reliability for Kubernetes, VMs, and microservices spanning single cluster to multi-cluster, hybrid environments, plus production support for Istio.
Commercial Support and/or Offerings Built on Envoy Proxy
App Mesh is a service mesh from Amazon Web Services that allows you to easily monitor and control communication across microservice applications on AWS. App Mesh uses Envoy as its service proxy.
Datawire's open source toolkit empowers developers to adopt a cloud-native development workflow for Kubernetes services.
Grey Matter is a cloud-native, cloud agnostic intelligent service mesh pathway for enterprise transformation and cost control.
Instana is the Application Performance Management solution for modern dynamic applications, using automation and AI to manage their service quality.
Solo.io develops tools to help the enterprise adopt innovative cloud technologies and maximize their benefits.
Tetrate is an enterprise service mesh company, started by Istio founders, to manage the complexity of modern, hybrid cloud application infrastructure. Its flagship product, Tetrate Service Bridge, provides consistent, baked-in observability, runtime security and traffic management in any environment.
