  • Manages Envoy Proxy as a gateway
  • Expressive, role-oriented API resources
  • Extensible architecture

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Official project within the Envoy organization
  • Pure focus on the Kubernetes Gateway API
  • Aims to be a reference implementation for an Envoy-based gateway

Unique Value: Provides a standardized, simple, and extensible way to manage Envoy as a Kubernetes gateway.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Implementing a modern API gateway on Kubernetes Managing ingress traffic with the official Kubernetes Gateway API Users who want an Envoy-based gateway without adopting a full service mesh

✅ Best For

  • Providing a standardized, Envoy-based implementation of the Kubernetes Gateway API.

💡 Check With Vendor
