Practice of Apache APISIX in Low-Code Gateway

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Apache APISIX implements a low‑code gateway that generates executable Lua DAGs and runs them inside APISIX to orchestrate existing plugins (about 15 built‑ins) rather than reimplementing logic. The system uses etcd + Dashboard manager API, a DAG data model to avoid deep loops, and the x6 graph engine for drag‑drop layout; exported JSON turns into Lua via d8 to lua and executes (works in live requests). Examples include a limit_req plugin speed‑limit flow and an auth→kafka‑logger→limit switch; community reaches ~3,000 contributors.
