About

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.

WP Rocket is a caching and performance optimization plugin that improves the loading speed of WordPress websites.

It implements several caching layers such as page caching (static HTML), mobile caching (a separate set of cache files for mobile devices), and browser caching (for repeated visits) with automatic preload, Gzip compression, minification of CSS/JS/HTML, lazy loading of images and iframes, CDN integration, and control over the WordPress Heartbeat API.
