Yea, envoy is the premier open source (not open core+ paid features) proxy right now in my opinion. Modern, well supported, big community, reliable. If I was making a bet long term I would be looking at envoy and not some open core crap where they can rug pull you at any moment.

A whole bunch of the other ingress/k8s gateway offering also just…wrap envoy, so you may as well just use envoy directly these days. Especially given that configuring it, wasn’t any worse than configuring a wrapper with the additional benefit of not having anything between you and envoy to get in the way.
Is envoy usable outside containers? For example, with VMs.
I primarily use it outside containers on EC2, works exactly the same as it does in a container
Thanks! Some similar proxy projects (can't remember which ones by memory) have migrated or pivoted to be Kubernetes or containers only.
Traefik is proper OSS tho, not Open Core
Is it? Features are blocked behind a subscription: https://traefik.io/solutions/kubernetes-ingress
