Kubernetes API Gateway
Virtual. Free. 100% Open Source.
KubeCon NA is just around the corner, and that means KubeCrash, the Chicago warm-up, is almost here too! Join us on October 18 for a virtual, free, and 100% open source-focused conference. This time around, we'll dive deep into cooperative multi-cluster deployments at enterprise scale. Check out the program and register today.

Developer Experience
As we set the course to create the best unrivaled Kubernetes-native solutions that fuel a positive developer experience, we realized that we needed a new website to match that same experience level. Our recent launch of a new website delivers a better online user experience while supporting our goal of making Ambassador Labs the essential component for developers to reduce the complexities and fuel collaboration as they build and ship applications across Kubernetes.
Our website now offers a user-friendly design and the most complete set of resources available to help Kubernetes developers uplevel their skills. An intuitive interface fuels a better engagement experience so visitors can find the information they’re looking for easily and fast.

Article
As technology advances, so do the techniques and tools used for building applications. APIs have become increasingly prominent over the years, now widely used for exchanging data between two or more systems in the digital landscape.
Today, there are numerous ways to handle application integrations and develop APIs. However, two specific methods for enabling software communication in your project stand out: Event-Driven APIs and Request-Driven RESTful APIs.
While both approaches aim to achieve the same goals, their underlying architecture, data flow, and scaling techniques differ. In this article, we will explore the evolution of event-driven and request-driven (RESTful) APIs, their differences, and the benefits they offer. Finally, we will discuss when to use one over the other.

API Gateway
Building a robust and efficient RESTful API requires careful planning and implementation. One of the key components of any successful API implementation is an API Gateway, as it acts as a front door to your API and helps manage the flow of requests and responses. Edge Stack is a popular and powerful API Gateway. It provides many features for managing, securing, and optimizing API traffic.
In this context, designing a RESTful API using Edge Stack requires a clear understanding of RESTful principles, a solid knowledge of the HTTP protocol, and an ability to apply these concepts to create a scalable and easy-to-use API. This guide will teach you how to deploy a REST API using the Edge Stack API gateway.

Docker
Containers have significantly altered how businesses create, deploy, and manage their applications. Even though containers can be manually deployed and managed in small quantities, the number of containerized applications is fast increasing in most enterprises, making their scaled management unfeasible without automation.
The operational work necessary to execute container workloads and services is automated with container orchestration. To implement this, certain tools and platforms are required. There are quite a few out there, but this article will compare two of the most popular ones: Kubernetes and Docker Swarm.
