xds

I wrote gRPC xDS server for Kubernetes that is configuration-free. Basically just load xDS client library into your code, then use xds:///servicename.namespace (unlike DNS, namespace is always required). It should be as lightweight and scales in similar way to the cluster DNS. My company run this exact code in production since it was created in 2022. We probably have several times more than 1000 rps gRPC requests running internally including over the public internet for hybrid cloud connectivity. That being said, gRPC's xDS client is not always bugs-free. https://github.com/wongnai/xds

I've been using a standardized xds resolver[1]. The benefit here is that you don't have to patch grpc clients. [1] https://github.com/wongnai/xds
