* Full HTTP/2 transparent proxy. Envoy supports HTTP/2 for both downstream and upstream
communication. nginx only supports HTTP/2 for downstream connections.
* Advanced load balancing. Though nginx plus (the paid server) supports some advanced load
balancing features such as out of band health checking, even that version does not have the
advanced service discovery and asynchronous DNS resolution features that Envoy does.
* Freely available advanced load balancing. Only nginx plus (the paid server) supports similar
advanced load balancing capabilities as Envoy.
* Ability to run the same software at the edge as well as on each service node. Many infrastructures
run a mix of nginx and haproxy. A single proxy solution at every hop is substantially simpler from
an operations perspective.
