Envoy

Envoy is an open-source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. In Kythia, it can be used as a high-performance web server or local load balancer.

  1. Go to Web Server -> Envoy
  2. Select a version and click Install
  3. Kythia downloads the official Envoy Windows binary.

Use the Start / Stop buttons in the Envoy panel. Envoy operates seamlessly as a background process.

Kythia manages a default envoy.yaml for basic HTTP routing to your Document Root. You can customize the YAML configuration manually:

C:\kythia\bin\envoy\{version}\envoy.yaml

Envoy logs directly to standard output. Kythia intercepts this output and displays it clearly in the Logs UI panel so you can monitor your traffic in real-time.
