Istio Proxy

The Istio Proxy is a microservice proxy that can be used on the client and server side, and forms a microservice mesh. The Proxy supports a large number of features.

Client Side Features:

  • Discovery & Load Balancing. The Proxy can use several standard service discovery and load balancing APIs to efficiently distribute traffic to services.

  • Credential Injection. The Proxy can inject client identity, either through connection tunneling or protocol-specific mechanisms such as JWT tokens for HTTP requests.

  • Connection Management. The Proxy manages connections to services, handling health checking, retry, failover, and flow control.

  • Monitoring & Logging. The Proxy can report client-side metrics and logs.

Server Side Features:

  • Rate Limiting & Flow Control. The Proxy can prevent overload of backend systems and provide client-aware rate limiting.

  • Protocol Translation. The Proxy is a gRPC gateway, providing translation between JSON-REST and gRPC.

  • Authentication & Authorization. The Proxy supports multiple authentication mechanisms, and can use the client identities to perform authorization checks.

  • Monitoring & Logging. The Proxy can report server-side metrics and logs.
