emissary-ingress.devrepositorydocs
Emissary-ingress is a Kubernetes-native API gateway and Layer 7 load balancer built on the Envoy Proxy. It runs as Kubernetes deployments, and the features page says scaling it means changing the replicas in that deployment. The install guide recommends Helm and also describes plain Kubernetes YAML. It offers a Docker image for trying the gateway locally.
Worth knowing
The project’s README says the original parent company has stepped back from direct involvement, and that the community now carries the project. It is a CNCF Incubating project.
