Hi,

The official helm chart deploys nginx replicas and allows creation of an Ingress to forward incoming traffic to the correct components (mainly distributors).

How is this handled by this project ? I don't see any reference to Ingress, nor webserver component.

It's not.
As I understand it Grafana themselves run an authentication proxy layer in front of distributors in their Grafana Cloud setup, which understandably isn't included in this repo.

I've used Envoy to provide even load balancing across distributors like this:

Correct. We use a proprietary authentication layer coupled with our infrastructure.
