Apache APISIX 3.0: 10 Highlights of Open Source API Gateway
The open source API Gateway Apache APISIX beta version 3.0 is coming! We have selected ten essential features to give a brief introduction before the official release.
API Gateway has acted as an essential component for a long time. It has been committed to providing various functions such as rate limiting, authentication (e.g., Use Keycloak to secure APIs), and observability at the business level.
With the iteration of server-side technologies, more and more services have begun to migrate from bare metal to Kubernetes, and the original monolithic architecture has gradually evolved into a microservice architecture. At the same time, enterprises have started to migrate their on-premise data centers to multi-cloud or hybrid clouds.
With these technological advancements in the environment, the requirements for API gateways at the business level have become increasingly complex.
Apache APISIX was born to help enterprises solve new problems in cloud-native environments and microservices. For example, it provides autoscaling of the business traffic through the fully dynamic feature and one-time modification to more conveniently achieve cluster management.
