For Googlers out there: Envoy is basically GFE
4 comments

I had no idea what GFE stands for and had to track down [https://medium.com/@jerub/the-production-environment-at-goog...] in order to get a good answer.

Envoy bills itself primarily as a service mesh (seeming closest to GSLB / Global Software Load Balancer), but also as an edge proxy (seeming closest to GFE / Google Front End).

Is there any reason to think that it's more like GFE than it is like GSLB?

Wut? More like Kubernetes is like Borg.
Sorry mixed up. Yes, GFE is more accurate
More like GFE
Thanks for the translation! :)
