summary
Lyft builds Envoy Mobile as a multi-platform networking library (Swift/Kotlin) and ships Envoy Mobile 0.2 into an alpha release of the Lyft app, running the Envoy core via Bazel + C bridge as a single-threaded engine. Requests use the same code paths as server Envoy so mobile and backend share same code paths and metrics (metrics exported over gRPC to existing dashboards). HTTP/3/QUIC, request prioritization and filter-based features are in the roadmap; CPU, battery and binary-size benchmarks run in CI and the event loop is tuned to be reactive to minimize overhead.
