Envoy’s Lua filter lets you embed lightweight scripts to modify requests and responses on the fly. This guide shows how to add a custom header, measures the performance impact, and explains when the filter is a good fit and when to avoid it.
A concise diagnostic guide for Envoy outlier detection: spot ejection symptoms, check counters and config, adjust thresholds, and know when to escalate.
Compare Envoy's built-in load balancing algorithms (Round Robin, Least Request, Ring Hash, Maglev, Random) for service-to-service traffic. Learn trade-offs, session affinity, failover behavior, and how to validate your choice in Envoy 1.28+.
Envoy listener filter chain selection includes a default filter chain that is used when no named filter chain matches the incoming connection, for example when SNI is absent or does not match a configured filter chain. The precise semantics of the fallback are relevant for preventing accidental public access. The listener configuration allows a default_filte
A technical guide on selecting the optimal Envoy load balancing policy, comparing Round Robin, Least Request, and Consistent Hashing to optimize backend performance.
Learn how to use Envoy's Local Rate Limit filter to protect backend services from traffic spikes and cascading failures without the latency of a global state store.
When deploying the same Envoy configuration that passes local integration tests, the listener fails to match a specific HTTP route in the production environment, returning a 404 response despite identical YAML files. The setup uses a static listener with a route configuration that includes a prefix matcher on /api/ and a corresponding cluster. No dynamic dis
Designing routing rules that depend on query parameters requires a clear definition of how Envoy interprets a request when the same query key appears multiple times. Envoy RouteMatch supports a query_parameters list with equality, prefix, suffix, regex, or presence matchers for a single key. The documented matcher types do not specify handling of duplicate k
When managing large datasets via Envoy proxy, the choice of pagination strategy impacts both data consistency and client complexity. For environments with high record churn, maintaining a stable view of the dataset during sequential requests is critical to avoid duplicate or missing entries. Implementation Trade-offs Offset-based pagination utilizing HTTP qu
