[discourse] Grpc load balancer

Hallo Teams

I have a question, for load balancer pod, what does flipt use? Is it envoy proxy?

[dosubot[bot]]

Flipt does not use Envoy proxy or any specific load balancer for gRPC by default. There are no references to Envoy or other load balancers in the codebase or documentation for runtime service or infrastructure configuration. Flipt supports gRPC, but leaves the choice of load balancer up to you, so you can use Envoy, HAProxy, or any other solution that fits your environment and requirements.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Hey @wahyugnc

Sorry for the super slow reply (nearly a month ).

We’re currently not using a gRPC load-balancer (internally), but envoy is an excellent choice.

Alternatively, you can always use something at the TCP level of course.
