kgateway
Envoy-based API gateway and ingress controller for Kubernetes that implements the Kubernetes Gateway API.
kgateway is an API gateway and ingress controller for Kubernetes that implements the Kubernetes Gateway API. It is built on Envoy, and its control plane is installed into a cluster with Helm. The project was launched in 2018 as Gloo by Solo.io, and it is now maintained under LF Projects, LLC and is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project.
Worth knowing
kgateway is the successor to Gloo Gateway, and its own site says it was known as Gloo. Since a 2.x release the agentgateway control plane lives in a separate repository, so that project is not part of kgateway’s own code.
