summary
Companies report migrating ingress from legacy proxies to Envoy and running into dozens of small interoperability bugs, for example header-casing mismatches solved with a camelcase http11 option, and timeout races that surface as intermittent 503s when sidecars add extra connection pools. Observability investments matter: Envoy emits detailed local-response tags and richer logs so operators can pinpoint which proxy timed out. Advice: prefer monoliths or shared control planes until team size, language diversity, and release cadence justify a mesh.
