The busy platform engineers guide to API gateways | PlatformCon 2023

API Gateways are certainly not a new technology. But how they are deployed, configured, and operated within modern platforms forces many of us to rethink our approach. Can we lift and shift our existing gateway into the cloud? Is our API gateway GitOps friendly (and must it be)? And what about service meshes, CNI, eBPF, and...

Join this talk for a whistle-stop tour of modern API gateways, which focuses on deploying and managing this technology within Kubernetes (on which many modern platforms are built): Understand why platform engineers should care about API Gateways today Learn about API gateways, options, and requirements for modern platforms Identify critical considerations for migrating to the cloud or building a new platform on Kubernetes Understand how cloud-native workflows impact the user/developer experience (UX/DX) of an API gateway Explore the components of a complete "edge stack" that supports end-to-end development flows Speaker: Daniel Bryant Head of DevRel, Ambassador Labs _____________ Check all the PlatformCon talks: https://platformcon.com/talks Check all the PlatformCon tracks: https://platformcon.com/#conference-t...
