Client-side Mixer integration story #927

Open douglas-reid opened 7 years ago

douglas-reid commented 7 years ago

We need to establish a workflow / guidelines / best practices for using Mixer on the outbound (client) side of requests. Currently, Mixer is called solely on inbound (server-side). This will help with egress integration, etc.

I think one of the blocking issues is that Envoy doesn't support plugging in client-side filters. We would have to change the current Envoy architecture to support plugging in Mixer filter on Envoy client-side stack, which is non-trivial work.

@myidpt We don't need Envoy client-side filter for client-side Mixer integration. They are orthogonal. We can apply client-side mixer check at regular filters on client-side Envoy.
