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
