This product initially developed by Lyft is now an open source project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
Envoy Proxy's website
From the docs:
The network should be transparent to applications. When network and application problems do occur it should be easy to determine the source of the problem.

Meeting C++ launched a new community on Patreon:
Starting a new Community at Patreon
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Something new: you can now support Meeting C++ through Patreon!
This will go mostly into videos & video interviews and the Meeting C++ blog. I started doing my own videos and video interviews on YouTube last year, and to compliment that, I decided to also start a community of supporters on patreon. You'll be able to know guests of Meeting C++ & friends ahead of time and be able to suggest potential questions to ask...

A good experience.
Freestanding trip report: emBO++ and Jacksonville wg21 2018 experience
by Ben Craig
From the article:
I'm the author of P0829, Freestanding Proposal. The tl;dr of the paper is that it standardizes a subset of the library suitable for kernel and embedded programming. R0 of this poorly titled paper was reasonably well received in the Albuquerque 2017 meeting. I was encouraged to send it out to a wider audience... and so I did. One of the people that I sent it to was Odin Holmes, and that got me an invitation to emBO++, my first speech at a public conference. This conference was the week prior to the Jacksonville meeting, so I ended up flying from Bochum to Jacksonville without going home first...

A good library fro formatting in the standard, soon?
Text Formatting at the ISO C++ standards meeting in Jacksonville
by Victor Zverovich
From the article:
This week I attended the ISO C++ standards committee meeting to present the second revision of my paper P0645R1 Text Formatting, based on the {fmt} formatting library. The first revision was reviewed by Library Evolution Working Group (LEWG) in June 2017 in Toronto and there was a lot of feedback, particularly I’ve been asked to
- investigate compile-time format string processing,
- look at using or explain why not to use an output iterator,
- use string_view,
- allow pre-computation of output size,
- add benchmarks.
It took me a while to address all the feedback, especially the first two items which required substantial API and implementation changes, so I had to skip the meeting in Albuquerque. However, this ultimately resulted in a much better API so I’m grateful to LEWG for the helpful guidance. Despite all the negative press covfefe “design by committee” sometimes works surprisingly well...

emBO++ 2018 Trip Report
by Simon Brand
From the article:
emBO++ is a conference focused on C++ on embedded systems in Bochum, Germany. This was it’s second year of operation, but the first that I’ve been along to. It was a great conference, so I’m writing a short report to hopefully convince more of you to attend next year!

A very interesting article that we should all read.
A Foolish Consistency
by Jon Kalb
From the article:
Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” I don’t think he was talking about code, but that statement couldn’t be more relevant to software engineers.
I’ve experienced a scenario like this a number of time in my career:
I’m sharing a new approach to writing code that offers some clear improvements to what we’ve been doing. Perhaps it is more readable, more efficient, or safer. But the response that I hear from colleagues is, “But we can’t do that here. We have <some large number> lines of code where we didn’t do it that way, so it wouldn’t be consistent.”
