Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Strengthened test infrastructure for envoyproxy/gateway to improve reliability, benchmarking accuracy, and test determinism. Delivered three targeted enhancements to HTTPRoute tests and resource loading, resulting in more stable CI and clearer performance signals. Highlights include: (1) HTTPRoute benchmarking now supports multiple hostnames per route for realistic route-scaling tests; (2) a defaulter mechanism for gateway-api resources loaded from files to ensure defaults align with schemas and reduce boilerplate; (3) deterministic ordering when loading Kubernetes YAML (sorting missing resources like namespaces and services) to stabilize test outputs. These changes reduce flaky tests, improve test repeatability, and accelerate performance-focused iteration across environments.
