Cool to see someone using Katran in production. Really interesting stack you have there.

Actually, all the props for that go to Katran's author himeself. When we hired Nikita V. Shirokov (tehnerd), the first thing he did was replacing IPVS with XDP/eBPF-based Katran, which improved our Edge servers throughput by 10x, from ~2MPps to ~20Mpps.

He also contributed a lot to Envoy migration migrating our desktop client to it and adding perf-related thing like TLS session tickets' lifetime to SDS.
