 Envoy Proxy | N/A | Envoy Proxy is an open-source Layer 7 (and Layer 4) proxy. It runs as a sidecar next to services, as an edge proxy in front of a cluster, or as the data plane under a control plane. In a Service Mesh, every hop of east-west traffic can flow through Envoy so routing, retries, mutual TLS, and observability sit in one process instead of in each application. It does not execute application business logic and it does not run model weights. | N/A | |
 Linkerd | N/A | Linkerd is presented as an ultra light, ultra simple, and ultra powerful service mesh. Developed by Buoyant and now available CNCF-hosted and open source, the developers say that Linkerd adds security, observability, and reliability to Kubernetes, without the complexity. | N/A |
