Reference Architecture for Envoy AI Gateway

Introduction

Envoy AI Gateway now supports Endpoint Picker Provider (EPP) integration as per the Gateway API Inference Extension.

This feature enables you to leverage intelligent, dynamic routing for AI inference workloads through intelligent endpoint selection based on real-time metrics, including KV-cache usage, queued requests, and LoRA adapter information.

When running AI inference at scale, this means your system can automatically select the optimal inference endpoint for each request, thereby optimizing resource utilization.
