Envoy has proven itself in the industry and we didn't want to reinvent the wheel by doing what envoy had already done for observability, rate-limits, connection management etc. And reason for using proxy-wasm was so we don't take hard dependency on any built version of envoy. There are many other benefits too which are listed here [1]. Regarding support for wasm runtime in envoy. We believe wasm support in envoy is not going anywhere and it will continue to become more and more stable over time. Envoy has heathy community and in case of any security vulnerability we will hope that envoy will ship fix quite fast which it has done in the past. See here for details of security patch rollout [2] [1] https://github.com/proxy-wasm/spec/blob/main/docs/WebAssembl... [2] https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/main/SECURITY.md
In Show HN: archgw: open-source, intelligent proxy for AI agents, built on Envoy
