Building Reliable APIs with Apache APISIX

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Apache APISIX is a high‑performance, cloud‑native API gateway built on OpenResty/nginx that claims dynamic config hot reload without restarts, handles canary 5% traffic routing for zero‑downtime rollouts, and applies circuit breakers to isolate faulty instances then automatically reintroduce them when healthy. It provides key/JWT/OpenID auth, rate limiting, load balancing, and plugins in many languages, and integrates with observability backends like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Zipkin, SkyWalking, Datadog; project has ~11.4k GitHub stars and community governance.
