Envoy smokes them both. Also has metrics out of the box that are not behind a paywall like nginx.

That's false. On the same youtube channel there's a video [1] comparing Nginx vs Envoy and Nginx offers higher throughput.

Besides that, from what I've seen Envoy has a higher dependency footprint:

- It comes bloated with GRPC functionality.

- Configuration requires running python.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong on the performance side of Envoy but so far I've only heard rumors and never seen a conclusive benchmark.
