The Foundation

Why Envoy Gateway

Kubernetes Native

Built on Gateway API and Kubernetes CRDs — no bolt-on ingress controllers or legacy config languages.

CNCF Project

Backed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation with a growing, multi-vendor contributor base.

High Performance

Envoy's C++ data plane handles enterprise traffic volumes with sub-millisecond overhead.

Open Source

No per-node or per-request licensing. Pay for expertise, not for the software.

Built on Envoy Proxy

The same proxy running in production at Google, Lyft, Salesforce, and Stripe.
