Envoy is a powerful open-source modern HTTP proxy server. It doesn't just serve as a proxy; it’s also a swiss army knife widely used in current cloud infrastructure, thanks to the extensible filter design. The best part of Envoy's filter is that you can define your own filtering, routing and transformation logic easily with Lua or WASM and plug them into the Envoy server to achieve things that cannot be done with the built-in filters.

Humans have not been to the Moon in fifty years, but the space race is hotter than ever. In 2012, the Voyager 1 spacecraft left our Solar System with a copy of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. In 2020, a Chinese lunar rover explored what lies beneath the Moon’s surface with ground-penetrating radar. Last week, Russia tested an anti-satellite weapon, which created so much debris that astronauts aboard the International Space Station prepared for possible evacuation. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hopes to send humans to Mars by 2024.

What It Is & Why It Matters
Many of us can remember our introduction to the power of compound interest at a young age. Maybe it was a grade school math teacher narrating the rice and chessboard fable or an early financial literacy course scaring you into saving for retirement by quoting Einstein: “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it … he who doesn't pays it.”
When something goes wrong and there isn’t a clear root cause, it can seem impossible to find, understand, and fix the problem. But now with VGS Observability, you can determine when, why, and how an atypical event happened.

VGS + WAF = <3
“VGS + Web Application Firewall: Part 1” discussed the need for enterprises to invest in a Web Application Firewall, or WAF, as part of a defense-in-depth security strategy. This follow-up blog explores where to position your WAF, specifically in relation to your VGS proxy, so it can best protect your applications and enterprise. The goal is to educate and empower you to secure your systems against the widest possible array of vulnerabilities and attacks.
Today, web applications, or “web apps” for short, dominate the business landscape. They gather, store, and process the sensitive personal and financial data of millions of Internet users. We now spend the majority of our computing time in the cloud, accessing online services and resources, from e-mail to e-commerce, via our browser.
