Lightning Talk: Who is Envoy

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

A quantitative audit uses Python scripts plus git blame and matplotlib to show Envoy growing from roughly 25k→110k LOC since open source (Oct 2016), with an architectural split producing extensions = ~1/3 of the tree. Google and Lyft dominate PRs and core maintenance, a small set of orgs (Tetrate, Apple, IBM, Salesforce, etc.) handle most core reviews, while a long tail (Datawire, Solo.io, others) drives large extension contributions; a chord diagram maps review relationships.
