API Gateways are going through an identity crisis. As microservice architectures proliferate we're learning that really, we need API Gateway functionality between all of our services, and not just at ingress where API Gateways have been deployed traditionally. The ability to dynamically extend Envoy at runtime via WASM opens the door for many new capabilities, including moving API Gateway functionality into the service mesh layer.
In this talk, we'll explore how we helped extend Envoy to support executing WASM as a safe, sandboxed way to run arbitrary code in the proxy. We'll then go further by showing how we used WASM to move functionality typically reserved for the edge of our deployments - API Gateway functions like token validation, rate limiting, and payload transformation - into the service mesh in a real user's deployment.
