What Elchi is

Elchi is a visual control plane for Envoy proxy fleets. You configure listeners, routes, clusters, endpoints, filters and certificates in a UI whose editors are generated from each Envoy version’s protobufs. Each change is validated twice, goes through draft, save and publish steps with an audit log, and reaches the running Envoys over xDS without a restart.

Several Envoy versions run side by side, and listeners can be upgraded from one version to the next without dropping requests. Security and visibility are part of the same control plane: Shield, an ext_proc sidecar with a built-in WAF in the request path, and API discovery derived from real traffic.

The product family is Elchi Core, the base of every deployment, and the licensed add-ons API Security, API Discovery and GSLB. The platform runs as three processes (Registry, Controller and Control Plane), with a lightweight agent, the Elchi client, on every edge host. Everything installs in your own infrastructure.
