Kubernetes API Gateway
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, more commonly known as HTTP, is a protocol used to exchange data on the world wide web. HTTP/3 is the latest evolution of this protocol, and it has been designed to reduce latency and increase resilience when compared to the existing HTTP/1 and HTTP/2, especially over lossy networks that regularly see high packet loss such as mobile connections and those seen in IoT and emerging market use cases.
In order for a site to serve end-to-end traffic over HTTP/3, both the clients and servers must support the protocol. The good news is that HTTP/3 is being rapidly adopted and is already supported by 73% of running browsers and over 25% of websites . Implementing HTTP/3 in your applications is not trivial without an ingress, proxy, or API gateway that fully supports the final HTTP/3 RFC specification .
The Google and Envoy Proxy teams have led the way with implementing and testing HTTP/3, as highlighted in a recent podcast with Alyssa Wilk, Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google and committer on the Envoy Proxy project.

Telepresence, Kubernetes
Use your favorite IDE, debugger, or other tools that run locally with Kubernetes
Moving to Kubernetes can mean a lot of changes and challenges for development teams, but it shouldn’t mean your developers can’t use their favorite tools. Changing tools can make it harder for developers to be productive. Challenges they would be able to solve easily with the tools they were comfortable with for their monolith may not be accessible in a Kubernetes environment. This means it can take longer to solve problems or they may not be able to solve them at all.
If organizations adopt Kubernetes to move faster, how can they cope with these changes that slow their individual developers down?

Developer Experience, Telepresence
Daniel Bryant, Head of DevRel at Ambassador Labs, gave a webinar on creating an effective developer experience as part of the CNCF Webinar series. Based on his experience working with cloud native applications at companies large and small, Daniel’s presentation focused on three key points:
The developer experience is primarily about minimizing the friction from idea to code to delivering observable business value.
How you construct your platform impacts the developer experience greatly

The Modern Standard for Cloud-Native Teams
How Edge Stack Kubernetes-native API Gateway Can Modernize Your System and Reduce Costs
If you are currently using an API gateway based on older or pre-cloud proxy technologies, now is the time to consider migrating to a modern solution to get access to new features, increased performance, and a reduction in resource requirements. Join thousands of organizations that have seen the benefits of migrating to an API Gateway based on Envoy Proxy, the new standard setter for cloud native features and performance. Edge Stack is the leading Envoy-based, purpose-built API Gateway.

Bootstrapping a microservices system is often a very difficult process for many small teams because there is a diverse ecosystem of tools that span a number of technical disciplines from operations to application development. This repository is intended for a single developer on a small team that meets the following criteria:
Building a simple modern web application using a service-oriented or microservices approach.

Kubernetes API Gateway
Development workflow is the process by which your organization develops software. A typical development workflow starts with product definition, and then moves through development, testing, release, and production stages.
The stability vs velocity tradeoff
Organizations tune this workflow for their given business needs and application. Typically, this involves optimizing the workflow to provide the right balance of stability versus velocity. As the application becomes more popular, ensuring that updates don't negatively impact users becomes more important. More stringent release criteria, better testing, and development reviews are typical strategies that improve stability. Yet these strategies aren't free, as they reduce velocity.
