gRPC API Management With a Kubernetes Native API Management Platform
summary
A Kubernetes-native API gateway built on Envoy Proxy and the Kubernetes Gateway API exposes gRPC at the edge with native routing, JWT-based auth, header mutation, and interceptor support (example Java interceptor) while managing traffic with CRD or REST-driven deployments via Helm. Demo shows rate limiting blocking excess calls at 2 requests/sec, automatic token validation, and successful production-scale runs for large banking deployments, proving the architecture and QoS controls work end to end.
