Spanning the Globe with Envoy at Stripe
summary
Stripe builds a global Envoy-based backhaul that uses mTLS and HTTP/2 between points of presence, a custom XDS control plane that implements per-customer routing, traffic ramp-up and blue/green deployments, and locality-based tiered failover. Production lessons include mitigating TCP-induced head-of-line blocking by increasing upstream TCP connections and rolling out BBR congestion control plus TCP keepalives, and gaining uniform observability and rapid config rollouts at the cost of extra operational surface area and C++/Envoy expertise.
