5 Reasons why Envoy API gateway is becoming popular

The Envoy API gateway project was built by converging multiple open source projects such as Contour, Emissary, and Envoy-specific use cases. The final product is a powerful Kuberntes-native API management solution for all applications.

API gateway

Manage the north-south traffic to your multicloud, on-prem web, or mobile apps using the Envoy API gateway at the edge. It provides network services for creating filters, routing logics, and security policies. Using the API gateway you can implement advanced use cases such as load balancing, high availability, rate limiting, failover, event tracing, and traffic monitoring.

Light-weight ingress controller

Envoy acts as the load balancer and the reverse proxy for your Kubernetes application. You can use Envoy to abstract the ingress traffic (traffic between services) and egress traffic (traffic going outside of a cluster).

Native support for Istio and Consul

Envoy is used as the sidecar proxy in the data plane for Istio and Consul service mesh. So, platform teams can extend the Envoy API gateway functionality to support the service mesh implementation. You can avoid having many tools for different use cases in traffic management and security implementation.

Zero trust using TLS support

Achieve zero trust with Envoy API gateway support for TLS termination and TLS origination. You can encrypt all your communication between clients, API gateway, ingress, and proxies. Envoy also provides a JWT authentication mechanism to reject invalid requests using HTTP filter configurations.

Declarative configuration

The Envoy API gateway is Kubernetes-native and built with principles of declarative configuration. It provides CRDs to enable DevOps and platform engineers to deploy it as a Kubernetes deployment object and easily integrate it into CI/CD pipelines or GitOps workflow.

Envoy API gateway architecture

Envoy works as the API gateway and ingress controller to manage the traffic from clients to an application. One of the common use cases of the Envoy API gateway is to implement HA/DR applications. Platform teams can use Envoy as a proxy to implement service mesh for better security of service-to-service communication.
