🆚 AWS Elastic Load Balancer vs. Envoy

AWS Elastic Load Balancer automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses.

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.
