Aerospike VS envoy

Aerospike for LINQPad 7 is a data context dynamic driver for interactively querying and updating an Aerospike database using “LINQPad”. The driver is free. For more information go to this blog post. You can directly download the driver from the LINQPad NuGet manager.

Aerospike is a real-time cloud structured platform with good performance capabilities. This IMDB platform allows enterprises to perform their operations in real time through the hybrid memory and parallelism model.

Block storage stores a sequence of bytes in a fixed size block (page) on a storage device. Each block has a unique hash that references the address location of the specified block. Unlike a filesystem, block storage doesn't have the associated metadata such as format-type, owner, date, etc. Also, block storage doesn’t use the conventional storage paths to access data like a filesystem file. This reduction in overhead contributes to improved overall access speeds when using raw block devices. The ability to store bytes in blocks allows applications the flexibility to decide how these blocks are accessed and managed, making block storage an ideal choice for low latency databases such as Aerospike. From a developer's perspective, a block device is simply a large array of bytes, usually with some minimum granularity for reads and writes. In Aerospike this granularity is configured and referred to as the write-block-size. The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator uses the storage infrastructure software inside of Kubernetes and the need for data platforms to use raw block storage becomes ever more important.

This example shows how the Aerospike database can be easily and scalably used to store industrial time series data made available by the MQTT ecosystem. Aerospike plus its Community Time Series Client streamlines the storage and retrieval of the data, supporting the ability to both write and read millions of data points per second if required.

Real-time large-scale JSON applications need reliably fast access to data, high ingest rates, powerful queries, rich document functionality, scalability with no practical limit, always-on operation, and integration with streaming and analytical platforms. They need all this at low cost. The Aerospike Real-time Data Platform provides all this functionality, making it a good choice for building such applications. The Collection Data Types (CDTs) in Aerospike provide powerful support for modeling, organizing, and querying a large JSON document store. Visit the tutorials and code sandbox on the Developer Hub to explore the capabilities of the platform, and play with the Document API and query capabilities for JSON.

Apple also contributed[1] MPTCP support to Envoy Proxy.

After it finishes (it can take a few minutes), Docker-Compose automatically starts a cluster with two containers. One is an Envoy proxy (running on port 3000) that relays requests from outside the cluster to the other container (running on port 4000), which is our AR.IO gateway that will handle the requests.

Hi HN!

For the past few weeks we've been working on Proximal - a workflow engine that lets you quickly iterate on WebAssembly extensions for Envoy Proxy[0] (or other proxies) right on your local machine: https://github.com/apoxy-dev/proximal

This work is based on Proxy-WASM[1] extension ABI for Envoy (and other proxies like APISIX and Mosn[2]) which allows you to execute WebAssembly code on every API request a la Cloudflare Workers. As part of our wider effort at https://apoxy.dev to improve API glue code we built an experimentation / development platform and hope you will find it useful!

On the technical side this project packs Envoy itself, Envoy controller, REST API (for controlling the controller =)), React SPA, and Temporal server/worker (for orchestration) - all baked into a single Go binary. You can find more on architecture and limitations in the repository README[4].

This project is pretty early stage and we would appreciate community feedback!

Hey HN,

We made an Envoy Proxy[0] playground so we could test out our Envoy configs directly in the browser. This is based on Julia's work with Nginx Playround[1] (we forked[2] that repo and added more Envoy to it). Check it out!

[0] - Envoy is a popular programmable proxy similar to Nginx or HAProxy that is popular with cloud-native setups: https://www.envoyproxy.io

Envoy is the proxy that does the heavy lifting. Istio is just a glorified configuration system. Even if you choose to use Istio you're still using Envoy.

You're spot-on about using iptables rules. There is an example here with a yaml configuration and some iptables commands: https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/main/configs/origin...

You might be able to re-use some of that. It should be pretty easy to get metrics for outbound/inbound http requests, but I don't remember the exact yaml incantation.

I'm using the default RaspiOS Lite 64bits and as highlighted in this issue, the RaspiOS kernel does not support CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_48, which makes cilium-envoy to fail building. As solution, I was told to use either Ubuntu as base OS or Traefik Ingress Controller, which is not configured in K3s.

I know envoy (https://www.envoyproxy.io/, https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/security/jwt_authn_filter) can do this natively, I'm sure you could probably build something with nginx and its Lua scripting, not sure about traefik and caddy but I dont think they support that.

Envoy is a cloud native opensource proxy server. The Envoy proxy offers a variety of http filters to handle incoming requests.

Istio: By far the most popular service mesh. It is built on top of Envoy proxy, which many service meshes use.
