Description
Hi,
I am interested in using Go to extend Envoy. Envoy TinyGo/WASM would be nice but TinyGo is limited for our purposes.
Cilium proxy however supports extensions in real Go. We don't need BPF.
Can the Cilium proxy be run as a "normal" Envoy proxy, proxying TCP connections, with the Go extension?
