Thanks for sharing:) Your approach seems reasonable and extremely powerful for variable features. As you mentioned, using local Envoy proxy with Istio is an excellent choice. But my approach was for reducing all the extra setups and just ‘port-forward’ services with single binary. I was intended to help developers who might be less experienced with cloud-native complexities, or anyone who just wants a simple way to do testing against their clusters!
