A Go library implementing the Envoy xDS discovery service APIs (data-plane-api) as a gRPC API server with an in-memory configuration cache. It provides shared infrastructure for building custom control planes that push configuration to Envoy proxies.
Use cases
- build a custom control plane for Envoy proxies
- serve xDS configuration over gRPC to Envoy fleets
- cache and push Envoy configuration updates to proxies
- implement service mesh control plane in Go
- manage Envoy listener and cluster configuration programmatically
- integrate Envoy config delivery into an existing Go service
When to choose
- you are writing a Go control plane that configures Envoy via xDS
- you need a production-ready gRPC xDS server with caching rather than building from scratch
- you want to share Envoy configuration logic across multiple control plane implementations
When to avoid
- you need a turnkey full control plane that translates platform services into Envoy config
- you are not using Envoy or the xDS protocol
- you need a control plane in a language other than Go
