    I’d love to see more on something like Envoy as the reverse proxy. I tend to think of reverse proxies in “generations”:

    1. Apache and Friends
    2. Nginx and Buddies
    3. HAProxy and Pals
    4. Envoy and Associates

    I’m rather familiar with 0-2 from my previous work. It’s really a pity, to me, that nginx is favored so heavily over HAProxy as in all perf and HA testing that I’ve done has resulted in nginx being left in the dust. The benchmarks that I’ve seen for Envoy show similar standings. I just haven’t spent the time yet to get familiar with it.
