K8sGateway:
an Envoy-powered,
Kubernetes-native,
API Gateway.

K8sGateway is the most mature and widely deployed Envoy-based gateway in the market today. Built on open source and open standards, K8sGateway integrates Kubernetes Gateway API with a federated control plane that scales from lightweight microgateway deployments between services, to massively parallel centralized gateways handling billions of API calls, to advanced AI gateway use cases for safety, security, and governance when integrating applications with third-party LLMs. K8sGateway brings omni-directional API connectivity to any cloud and any environment.

About K8sGateway

K8sGateway was launched in 2018 as Gloo. Since then, the project has steadily evolved to become the most trusted and feature-rich API gateway for Kubernetes, processing billions of API requests for many of the world's biggest companies.
