# proxy

An introduction to Envoy Proxy's architecture — listeners, clusters, filters, and the xDS dynamic configuration API. Covers static configuration for standalone use and how Envoy fits into service meshes like Istio.

Advanced Envoy traffic management — configuring retries with exponential backoff, per-request timeouts, weighted canary routing, global rate limiting, and fault injection for resilience testing.

Implement Envoy rate limiting with local token bucket and global Redis-backed strategies to protect your services from traffic spikes.

Deploy Envoy as an edge proxy and sidecar for microservices — listeners, clusters, routes, circuit breaking, retries, and observability features.
