🆚 Envoy vs. HAProxy

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.

HAProxy is an open-source load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

It provides multiple load-balancing algorithms, TLS/SSL termination and certificate management, Lua scripting, a runtime API, hitless reloads, and built-in metrics for Prometheus.
