Support Basic Auth.

You can do this with Envoy Btw if you want.

THis is just a suggestion, and its definitely not for everyone.

why do it ?
By putting all auth and authz at the envoy level the golang layer remains simple, and you dont reinvent the wheel and you centralise the Auth and Authz for situations where you need to stand up many MicroServices.

Nomad, kubernettes and gloo all use Envoy under the hood.

gloo just happens to give you a golang API though, and so can be used in different scenario's, which is flexible. It also runs on darwin, linux ( both AMD64 and AMR64).
I dont think nomad runs on ARM64 yet.
