The Future of API Gateways on Kubernetes

The Future of API Gateways on Kubernetes

 

Explore the evolution of API gateways and their role in modern API management. This article examines today's requirements, the limitations of Kubernetes, why Envoy is the ideal foundation, and the future of API management on Kubernetes.

Key Points:

  • API gateways have evolved from basic converters to advanced cloud gateways,
    adapting to market demands and managing API communications between clients and
    backend services.
  • The open source Kubernetes Gateway API project positions API gateways to become an
    essential but commoditized part of infrastructure.
  • Full lifecycle API management will remain critical in driving cloud native applications and
    services.
  • Traditional API management architectures must be redesigned to accommodate the
    requirements of Kubernetes and cloud native environments.
