Features

• Service Mesh Data Planes - Provides the secure and modular proxy layer required for service mesh microservices communication.
• Zero-Downtime Upgrades - Provides zero-downtime upgrades by replacing the running binary while maintaining active network connections.
• Zero-Downtime Binaries Upgrades - Replaces the running proxy binary with a new version while maintaining active network connections.
• Real-time Configuration Updates - Supports real-time updates of routing rules and backend clusters without requiring process restarts.
• Service Mesh Control Planes - Offloads network policy and service discovery to an external control plane for real-time updates.
• Backend Cluster Load Balancers - Distributes requests across clusters using connection pooling, health checks, and circuit breakers to ensure stability.
• API Gateways - Routes incoming network requests at the edge while applying security policies and protocol logic.
• API Gateway Configurations - Acts as an API gateway by routing incoming requests to services with integrated security and protocol logic.
• Distributed Traffic - Distributes network requests across backend clusters using health checks, circuit breakers, and latency algorithms.
• Multi-Protocol Interoperability - Ensures interoperability between cloud components by supporting diverse network protocols through a modular architecture.
• Network Traffic Management - Automates the flow and routing of network traffic using multi-protocol support for load balancing and gateways.
• Protocol Abstraction Layers - Features a decoupled architecture that separates transport and application layer logic for multi-protocol support.
• Service Meshes - Provides the infrastructure layer for managing service-to-service communication and policy within a service mesh.
• Traffic Proxying - Forwards transport and application layer traffic using automatic protocol identification and transparent hijacking.
• Socket-Based Binary Hot-Reloading - Uses socket-passing mechanisms to transfer active connections to a new process during hot upgrades.
• TLS Traffic Encryption - Manages encrypted connections using multiple certificates and secure secret delivery to secure traffic via TLS.
• Non-Blocking Event Loops - Employs a non-blocking event-loop execution model to handle high-concurrency network I/O.
• Multi-Protocol Proxies - Forwards layer four and layer seven traffic across diverse network protocols to ensure cloud component interoperability.
• Mesh Traffic Policy Management - Connects to service mesh controllers like Istio to implement network communication and traffic rules.
• Graceful Lifecycle Management - Manages the process lifecycle with graceful shutdowns and hot upgrades to maintain continuous availability.
• Connection Pooling - Maintains reusable network connection pools to backends to eliminate repeated handshake overhead.
• Layer 7 Traffic Routing - Manages layer seven traffic based on application-layer protocols to distribute requests as a gateway.
• Latency-Aware - Implements timing-based algorithms to distribute network requests across backends and minimize response delays.
• Request Routing - Directs incoming network requests using matching rules based on hosts, URLs, and metadata.
• Proxy Scripting Extensions - Allows adding custom request processing logic via external plugins or compiled Go modules without restarts.
• Circuit Breakers - Implements circuit breakers to halt traffic to failing backends and prevent cascading failures in distributed systems.
• Proxy Capability Extenders - Allows extending proxy functionality via external plugins and portable binary modules.
• Request-Response Logic Extenders - Provides plugins to inject custom logic into the request-response lifecycle to manipulate network traffic.
• Modular Plugin Architectures - Implements a modular plugin architecture allowing custom request processing logic to be injected.
• Out-of-Process Plugin Architectures - Executes custom proxy extensions in separate processes to isolate failures from the core proxy.
• Network Traffic Analysis - Collects system metrics, access logs, and tracing data to monitor network health and performance.
• Proxy Performance Monitoring - Provides system metrics and access logs to track network health and request latency for proxy nodes.
• Microservices - Cloud-native network data plane.
• Load Balancing and Ingress - Cloud-native proxy for edge or service mesh.
