Getting started with Envoy Proxy in 15 Minutes: installation-free Gloo Edge

15 minutes blog header

How long does it take to configure your cloud-native application on an open-source API Gateway? Getting started with Envoy Proxy can be fast and easy.

Give us 15 minutes and we’ll give you a Kubernetes-hosted application accessible via an open-source gateway, and configured with policies for routing, service discovery, timeouts, debugging, access logging, and observability. The Gloo Edge API gateway builds on the foundation of Envoy Proxy, the open-source proxy in Istio, itself one of the most influential enterprise cloud projects available today.

Best of all, we’ll accomplish all of this in a hosted environment, so you won’t need to install anything on your workstation or Kubernetes clusters.

Would you like to try getting started with Envoy Proxy in a more traditional Kubernetes environment? Not a problem. Check out one of these alternative approaches:

Head over to the Getting Started in 15 Minutes Experience to start your journey now! Note that this is hosted on the Instruqt platform.
