Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge, middle, and service proxy built by the Envoy community. The project is written in C++ and uses Bazel as its build system, with protocol buffer definitions for its xDS and configuration APIs. Development is managed through a structured GitHub workflow that emphasizes code quality through mandatory format and lint checks, signed commits, and comprehensive testing including unit tests achieving 100% coverage for new code and integration tests on localhost, with a squash-merge release process and careful dependency management governed by explicit policies.
