Evolution of Envoy AI Gateway
Talkat EnvoyCon North America 2025 · on Monday, 2025-11-10· at 09:45· Building B | Level 4 | B406b-407·
summary
Envoy AI Gateway uses Envoy Gateway + xDS to serve GenAI on Kubernetes and now implements token-based global rate limiting by extracting token usage from responses into dynamic metadata and decrementing quotas on stream close; it does transparent cross‑provider failover by running conversion, auth, and signing logic per retry in an xrog upstream filter; it supports self‑hosted pools with an external endpoint picker that scrapes Prometheus for queue depth and picks hosts, shows measurable LB improvements, and notes limits (output tokens unknown until response, work in progress).
