Kubernetes 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.

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.

As a developer, you understand the importance of testing your code before deploying it to a production environment. One solution to this problem is to develop and test your code using a local Kubernetes cluster. This streamlines your workflow and reduces the risk of errors in your deployments.
However, setting up the necessary tools and environments for Kubernetes Local development can be challenging. That’s why I’ve put together this comprehensive guide on the best tools for a Kubernetes Local development environment.
In this guide, you’ll learn about the top tools for local development, how to use them, and why you need a Kubernetes Local development solution for your projects. So, if you’re ready to take your Kubernetes development to the next level, keep reading!

Kubernetes API Gateway
Last May, Ambassador Labs introduced the Envoy Gateway project. With the project about to release version 0.3.0, I want to talk about why I’m so excited about Envoy Gateway, the Kubernetes Gateway API that it implements, and why I think they are the future of Kubernetes ingress.
Kubernetes Ingress: A Look Back
In early 2018 I was on a team tasked with moving a startup from a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that we had operationally outgrown to a platform we controlled and could scale based on Kubernetes. Ingress into the cluster was a critical piece of the new infrastructure we were building and one of the first challenges we had to address.

Kubernetes API Gateway
Edge Stack API Gateway, Traefik, and NGINX are popular tools for implementing an API gateway and load balancer in a Kubernetes environment.
In this article, we will compare the features and capabilities of these three popular API gateways. Besides their features, I’ll also include use cases to help you decide the best for your specific requirements and preferences.
Before we delve into this comparison, let’s remind ourselves about the meaning and usefulness of an API gateway and load balancer in the world of Kubernetes.
