The Rise of the Kubernetes Gateway API and Its Role in Cloud Native API Management

A talk given by Nuwan Dias from WSO2 at the 2024 Austin API Summit in Austin, Texas.

As cloud-native architectures continue to reshape the landscape of modern software development, the emergence of the Kubernetes Gateway API stands out as a pivotal advancement in the orchestration and management of APIs. In this talk, we will embark on a journey through the dynamic realm of cloud-native technologies, exploring the transformative role played by the Kubernetes Gateway API in the realm of API management.
The Kubernetes Gateway API serves as a linchpin in the seamless integration and communication of microservices within a Kubernetes cluster. We will delve into its architecture, capabilities, and the ways in which it empowers developers and operators to efficiently handle the complexities of API management in a cloud-native environment.
