Re:Why Segment Chose Go, gRPC, and Envoy to Build Their New ... by nzoschke on Saturday December 15, 2018 @01:12PM (#18689547)
OP here.

We use the envoy authz filter.

For every incoming request envoy first calls out to a custom auth check service with all the request metadata like path and http headers.

The auth service can return a “fail” response which indicates to not forward the original request any further. Or it can return a “pass” response plus data to add to the original request headers.
