Hey Kubernetes folks :waving_hand:

I’ve published a deep dive into Gateway API.

The blog post covers:

  • how Kubernetes ingress patterns evolved from Service resources to Ingress and now Gateway API

  • why the Ingress API is limited for modern teams

  • how Gateway API works: GatewayClass, Gateway, 5x Routes, policies, ReferenceGrant, and more

  • what to do if you are still running the deprecated NGINX Ingress Controller

  • how I would think about picking a Gateway API implementation: Envoy Gateway, Istio, kgateway, Traefik, NGINX Gateway Fabric, Cilium, Kong, etc.

I hope you find this helpful and good luck with your Ingress → Gateway API migrations :raising_hands:
