    Hi Thor,

    I am interested in finding out more on the scope of this project. 

    Few questions:

    • What is the API Gateway you intend to use?  
    • There are many ingress gateway in K8S world - Gloo, Ambassador, ISTIO ingress, NGINX etc... Are you proposing new API Gateway or enhance one of the gateways listed here?
    • In any case, it is good to understand the gaps you see in existing gateways and understand what you are proposing to get done in this feature project.

    Hi Srini,

    I think "gravitee.io" is a good solution for API gateway which is also have account management feature and have potential to integrate multiple open source with their own user interface.

    Regard to K8S, maybe Istio and Nginx are good solutions.

    1. Srinivasa Addepalli

      Thank you for quick response. I did not hear about gravitee.io before. Will check. Is the intention of this feature project to leverage this for non-K8S based edge locations?

      1. Thor Chin

        Yes, API Gateway should cover K8S and VM scenario due to these two scenarios have their own advantages.
