Dependents on how many config changes you need (per day).
Besides Envoy supports it and I would call it a bonus if you can reload your configuration without client interruption. As for complicating things the implementation for hot reload isn't terribly complicated in Envoy.
- jeffbee 6y agoI'm mentally separating the hot restart part from the reloadable configs part, even though they are together in the article. To me, not having reloadable configs is too crazy to even imagine.
