Developed and delivered Envoy Gateway as the control plane ingress for the unionai/helm-charts repository, enabling a seamless migration path from Ingress NGINX while supporting coexistence within the same Kubernetes cluster. The work involved implementing core features such as Backend and Client Traffic Policies, Gateway configuration, HTTP and GRPC routing, and Redis-backed rate limiting, all orchestrated through Helm and YAML. Additionally, introduced a patch policy for auth-token interception and caching to optimize authentication flows and rate limiting. This engineering effort established a scalable, policy-driven ingress foundation that reduces operational risk and enhances security during cluster ingress migration.
April 2026: Delivered Envoy Gateway as the control plane ingress for unionai/helm-charts, enabling a migration path from Ingress NGINX with the ability to coexist in the same cluster. Implemented core EG features including Backend Traffic Policy, Client Traffic Policy, Gateway configuration, HTTP/GRPC routing, and Redis-backed rate limiting. Added patch policy for auth-token interception and caching, along with necessary charts to deploy EG alongside NGINX. This work reduces operational risk during migration, strengthens security posture, and enables scalable, policy-driven ingress management. Notable commit 87450a5b5ef4a7ca1f187ae238f037386423ece5; PR #323; branch jan/wip-selfhosted.
