XDS/Proxyless support? #1317

Closed akettmann-e24 closed 1 year ago

We are using grpc-web for a SPWA. Is proxyless/xds protocol supported ? If so is there documentation I have missed regarding it?

Hi thanks for asking! I'm not familiar with proxyless/xds but as i understand gRPC-Web is designed for browsers so it is HTTP only.

Thanks for the info! XDS/proxyless (well the proxy is built into GRPC basically) gets rid of Envoy sidecars, and has your clients figure out the best endpoint themselves. XDS:/// is sidestepping normal DNS to allow it to figure out who you should ask.
