How Edge Stack works
Edge Stack Kubernetes-native API Gateway plays an important role throughout the entire microservices lifecycle and can make a difference to your organization's design, development, testing, deployment and observability activities.
Kubernetes ingress controller
Routing user requests into your Kubernetes cluster requires a modern traffic management solution. Edge Stack API Gateway provides a robust Kubernetes Ingress Controller that supports a broad range of protocols, including TCP, HTTP/1/2/3 and gRPC, supports TLS and mTLS termination, and provides reliability and resilience features to protect your backend services.
- Designed and built with Kubernetes best practices
- Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
- TLS and mTLS
- Automatic HTTPS
- Robust configuration options
- Enabled for developer self-service
Simplified traffic management
Microservices may crash, but your application shouldn’t. The API Gateway includes support for automatic retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, and rate limiting to maximize application availability. In addition to keeping your application available, the API Gateway supports progressive releases with fine-grained traffic management controls.
- Advanced load balancing
- Timeouts, retries, and circuit breaking
- Progressive delivery and continuous delivery support
Decentralized, declarative workflow
Edge Stack API Gateway empowers development teams to safely manage their ingress, using the same workflow you already use with Kubernetes.
- Configure using Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)
- Operator-focused CRDs, including host, listener, and security configuration
- Developer-focused CRDs, including mappings and rate limiting configuration
- Comprehensive protocol support, including TCP, HTTP/1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and gRPC and gRPC-Web
- Zero-downtime reconfiguration
- Integrate with existing GitOps / Kubernetes workflows
