Streamlining API Governance: Kubernetes Native API Management

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Claims that the Kubernetes Gateway API (introduced in 2019) fixes Ingress limits by adding structured HTTPRoute resources, extensible backendRefs and custom resources and native filters for URL rewrite and header injection; demonstrates a concrete HTTPRoute that rewrites /orders to /orderlist, adds an x-order-id header, and routes POST traffic to the order service; shows WSO2 APK extending Gateway API for rate limiting and auth, and recommends Envoy as the cloud‑native data‑plane runtime.
