We've been experimenting with Envoy for a few months and have been really impressed with the technology and the responsiveness of the community. We're actually deploying an API Gateway built on Envoy so you can easily extend your service mesh all the way out to the edge. Planning on open sourcing it soon (if anyone wants to give it a try, my email is in my profile).

Any reason you chose to use API Gateway for your edge instead of another Envoy with an ELB in front?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to using Envoy as an API gateway, not a specific API gateway product. We had to write some wrapper code on top of Envoy that lets you use a REST API to map URLs to services running in your Kube cluster and then dynamically update Envoy config, etc.
