Topic: Envoy Proxy - A Gateway to Service Mesh and WebAssembly

Envoy Proxy is a popular proxy for Kubernetes and Microservices apps due to it's speed, extensibility and cloud-native design. With microservices, the network is critical for a properly functioning application and Envoy provides a high performance data plane for both North / South traffic (incoming requests from external clients) and East / West (communication between the services).

In this talk, we'll discuss and demo:

• The Envoy data plane at the edge and as sidecars for service mesh
• Interaction between the modern data plane and control plane
• Using WebAssembly to customize Envoy and Envoy based service meshes
