Enabling gRPC and HTTP/2 support at the edge with Kuma and Envoy

Our thing is to let you deploy your apps globally in less than 5 minutes with high-end performance. Not only does this require us to be meticulous about everything composing our infrastructure layer, but also we have to support high-level protocols like WebSockets, HTTP/2, and gRPC. There are two major things in the infrastructure impacting performance: hardware and network. On the hardware side, we deploy all apps inside microVMs on top of high-end bare metal servers around the world.

What is a microVM?

A microVM is a lightweight virtual machine. Any function or container workload can run inside of one. It is ideal for running multiple high-performance and secure workloads concurrently on a single machine because it combines the security and isolation of traditional VMs with the resource efficiency of containers. In this blog post, we dive into the world of microVMs, specifically Firecracker microVMs.

What is gRPC?

gRPC is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that enables client and server applications to communicate with each other remotely and transparently. In this blog post, we are going to discuss gRPC. First, we’ll talk about RPCs and why they are important. Then we’ll explain how gRPC works, taking a closer look at protocol buffers and the architecture of gRPC.

eBPF: The future of the service mesh and network innovation

The conversations around eBPF and how this technology will shape the future of the service mesh caused a huge buzz in the last year — yes, bee pun intended. eBPF lets you run sandboxed programs in an operating system kernel. Imagining how eBPF could improve the service mesh brings exciting possibilities, but it also raises security and operational concerns given the current state and limitations of eBPF.
