grpcgi: Enabling Universal Web Serving, Native mTLS, and xDS on the gRPC Mesh - Mehrdad Afshari

Why watch

This presentation introduces grpcgi, a language-neutral bridge that enables traditional web applications (ASGI, Rack) to operate as native gRPC upstreams within Envoy/xDS service meshes. It demonstrates how unmodified web apps can inherit SPIFFE identity, mTLS, and advanced routing without code changes, with a live demo of WebSocket echo and AI inference servers served through Envoy with full mesh capabilities.
