Envoy Proxy

Envoy Proxy is an open-source software tool that helps applications communicate with each other more efficiently and securely, especially in complex environments like microservices. Think of it as a smart middleman that routes requests between different services, managing traffic, load balancing, and security features. It monitors the health of services, provides observability for tracking performance, and can transform or enrich requests and responses. Envoy is widely used in cloud-native applications to improve reliability and performance while simplifying the management of network interactions.
