Envoy is a popular and scalable API gateway technology that was built to work in a dynamic services environment. It is fast, comprehensive, dynamically configurable, extensible, and observable.

• Lyft built Envoy as an internal technology to publish services out to their consumers both internal and external.
• Envoy is built to be fast, scalable, comprehensive, dynamically configurable, extensible, and observable.
• Envoy works with a dynamic control plane, allowing for policies to be served up dynamically to the proxy without having to balance anything.
• Envoy is built on a filter chain architecture, allowing for various policies and routing techniques to be applied to requests.
• Envoy produces access logs on each request, which are valuable for debugging and monitoring purposes.

Emissary-ingress, a CNCF Incubating project, is a self-service Kubernetes-native open-source API gateway and ingress controller built on the Envoy proxy -- but really, what does that mean? In this session, we'll give attendees an overview of why ingress controllers are necessary, how self-service developer workflows work for developers and for operations, and how Emissary-ingress can make all of this easier. We'll also look at current best practices around designing, managing, and evolving self-service APIs. We'll continue with a deeper dive into Emissary-ingress' evolution and future, notably including a discussion around plans for the upcoming getambassador.io/v3 API version, and - perhaps most importantly - how to get involved as a contributor or as a user who wants to offer feedback. This is a great opportunity to interact directly with the Emissary-ingress maintainers and make sure your voice is heard -- we're looking forward to your help as Emissary-ingress continues to grow and evolve!Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
