Features

• Service Mesh - Functions as a high-performance service mesh data plane for managing, securing, and observing inter-service communication.
• Service Proxies - High-performance proxy designed for service-to-service communication providing advanced traffic management, observability, and security.
• Dynamic Configuration Managers - Supports real-time updates to routing, load balancing, and security policies via a centralized control plane.
• Network Traffic Management - Routes, balances, and secures network traffic in real-time without requiring service restarts or downtime.
• Event-Driven Networking - Utilizes a non-blocking event loop to handle high-concurrency network connections with minimal latency.
• Dynamic Service Proxies - Updates routing, security, and load balancing policies in real-time without interrupting active network connections.
• Service Communication Security - Enforces transport layer security and manages certificates to encrypt data and authenticate identities between services.
• Traffic Routing Engines - Evaluates incoming requests against configurable rules to dynamically direct traffic to appropriate backend services.
• Distributed Observability Systems - Collects and exports detailed metrics, logs, and distributed traces to monitor the health and performance of network traffic.
• Monitoring and Observability - Collects and exports granular metrics, logs, and distributed traces to provide real-time visibility into system performance.
• Distributed Observability Platforms - Aggregates telemetry data from network interactions to provide real-time visibility into service health and performance.
• Dynamic Routing - Enables real-time updates to routing, cluster, and listener settings without requiring service restarts.
• DevOps and Infrastructure - High-performance edge and service proxy.
• Load Balancing and Ingress - C++ front and service proxy.
• Hot Reloading - Maintains continuous service availability by transferring active connection sockets during binary or configuration updates.
• Dynamic Provider Discovery - Automates the discovery of service changes and updates routing tables in real-time via a centralized control plane.
• Load Balancers - Distributes incoming traffic across multiple upstream service instances using various algorithms to ensure high availability.
• Network Traffic Analyzers - Captures, mirrors, and inspects raw network traffic flows to troubleshoot communication issues.
• Proxy Scripting Extensions - Allows integration of custom logic to modify request processing and add unique filtering capabilities.
• Health Checks - Continuously monitors backend service availability to ensure reliable traffic distribution and load balancing.
• Proxy Lifecycle Management - Supports hot-restart process management and dynamic configuration updates to maintain continuous service availability.
• Request Handler Chains - Executes custom logic modules in a sequential pipeline to inspect or modify request and response data.
• CLI Administration Tools - Provides command-line utilities for monitoring status, updating configurations, and performing hot restarts.
• Cluster and Service Orchestration - Maintains a dynamic inventory of upstream service instances and performs continuous health checks to ensure reliable traffic distribution.
• Traffic Analysis Tools - Provides integrated tools for traffic tapping and mirroring to capture and inspect network flows for debugging and auditing.
• Shared Memory Management - Synchronizes internal proxy state and connection metadata across process boundaries to enable seamless restarts.
