Envoy extensions enable additional service mesh functionality in Consul by changing how the sidecar proxies behave. Extensions dynamically modify the configuration of Envoy proxies based on Consul configuration entries, enabling a wider set of use cases for the service mesh traffic that passes through an Envoy proxy.

### Fault injection
The `fault-injection` extension lets you alter responses from an upstream service so that users can test the resilience of their system to different unexpected issues. Refer to the [fault injection **documentation**](/consul/docs/connect/manage-traffic/fault-injection) for more information.
### Lambda
### Lambda
The `lambda` Envoy extension enables services to make requests to AWS Lambda functions through the mesh as if they are a normal part of the Consul catalog. Refer to the [Lambda extension documentation](/consul/docs/connect/proxies/envoy-extensions/usage/lambda) for more information.
