🆚 Apache Traffic Server vs. Envoy

Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.

It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in C/C++ or Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.

Envoy is a high-performance, open-source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications and large microservice "service mesh" architectures.

It provides advanced L4/L7 load balancing, HTTP/2 and gRPC proxying, service discovery integration, observability with distributed tracing and rich metrics, and dynamic configuration via xDS APIs.
