summary
Envoy reaches its 10th year and claims to have become a platform not just a proxy, unlocking non‑HTTP use cases and agentic/LLM integrations by adding protocol support and dynamic modules so teams can write Rust or Go extensions instead of C++. Databricks reports 25 Envoys deployed across architectures; the ecosystem counts about 50 maintainers. Work under way: overload manager actions, new load‑balancing algorithms, Orca client‑side LB, and Envoy Gateway adding module support; runtime wrappers aim to contain module crashes.
