Hi
It seems for Apigee Edge Public cloud (SAAS) we can install edge microgateway as well envoy proxy.
https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/envoy-adapter/v1.0.x/concepts
https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/microgateway/3.1.x/overview-edge-microgateway
Can Envoy Proxy in a simple mode be installed without complexity of Istio setup etc.
Have gone through the link below but it is more from Istio point-of-view -
https://community.apigee.com/questions/68392/apigee-istio-adapter-vs-apigee-microgateway.html
What are the considerations for this decision if there is no istio involved.
Please share your views.
thanks!
The Envoy proxy can be run without Istio, if that's what you want. You can find a walkthrough of such a setup here: https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/envoy-adapter/v2.0.x/example-edge
Running it without Istio and Kubernetes means it is relatively simple to understand, but you lose the advanced features (auto healing, load balancing, auto scaling, etc) that you get from Istio/Kubernetes. How much of a big deal that will be kind of depends on the exisiting/planned capabilities of your backends.
thanks! Any thoughts on opting for this over Edge Microgateway any benefits on Apigee Edge Public cloud
