The presentation discusses context aware traffic routing for stateful services using Envoy, which involves using information extracted from the message payload to route traffic while supporting legacy APIs.
- Context aware routing involves using the content of the request message to route traffic
- The proposed solution involves putting the client to server mapping closer to the message routing process
- A state coordinator service is added to synchronize the client to server mapping across all Envoys
- The solution guarantees 100% correctness
- The solution improves performance and handles larger messages more efficiently
