EnvoyCon North America 2022

Over the last decade, infrastructure has been moving away from monolithic centralized servers and increasingly towards end users, with a focus on Edge Computing to run code as close to the people who are accessing it, wherever they are in the world. Envoy Mobile has pushed Envoy beyond the edge, all the way to your fingertips, unlocking a world of possibilities (and challenges) by being able to run Envoy on every node in the network chain from app to service and back again. Come learn how we’ve adapted Envoy to run as native embedded libraries for iOS and Android that feel right at home no matter the platform ecosystem; how we narrowed and in some cases exceeded the performance gap with established mobile networking libraries; what mobile-specific use cases or problem areas we discovered along the way, and how we solved for them; how Envoy’s rich observability tools helped us roll out safely to billions of requests a day; and how this is just the beginning of pushing mobile networking to the next level.
