I see that your Kong service mesh using nginx as the underlying proxy. Are there any plans to use Envoy proxy in future? Currently Istio and Linkerd2 are based on Envoy. Unlike nginx, envoy doesnt have an enterprise version where some enterprise features are held off. Also envoy has very good observability and traffic management features.
Curious to see if Kong can do true hitless reloads without proxy restart. Envoy can do this but I thought only NGINX Plus has this capability?
Kong indeed can, it's part of our API gateway for years :)
