There is still a lot of confusion about API gateways, Kubernetes gateways, and service meshes. A lot of this is because:
- People often mention these technologies with the same keywords, like canary deployments, rate limiting, and service discovery.
- All these technologies use reverse proxies.
- Some API gateways have their own Kubernetes gateways and service meshes and vice versa.
- There are a lot of articles/videos that compare the three technologies and conclude why one is better than the other.
In this talk, I will try to explain these technologies and share how they fundamentally differ and cater to different use cases.
Beginner
Target Audience –Anyone unfamiliar or confused about the three technologies—API gateways, Kubernetes gateways, and service meshes
