The Past, Present, and Future of Cloud Native API Gateways | Daniel Bryant
Discover the evolution of cloud native API gateways, from hardware to software, and how they're changing the way developers work with service discovery, routing, and security.
- The evolution of APIs has gone from hardware to software, changing the way we work with networking layer four and service discovery.
- Cloud native APIs have changed the workflow, requiring developers to be empowered to move fast and adapt to changes.
- The concept of API gateways has evolved from being a single point of ingress to a service mesh, with capabilities like service discovery, routing, and security.
- The rise of software-driven edge components has led to the proliferation of API gateways, with some organizations using multiple gateways.
- The challenge with cloud native APIs is that they require a change in workflow, architecture, and technology.
- The key to succeeding with cloud native APIs is to have a good understanding of Kubernetes, microservices, and service meshes.
- The edge is becoming increasingly important, with the rise of cloud native edge computing and the need for edge infrastructure.
- API gateways are not just for DevOps teams, but also for ops teams, as they require collaboration and both technical knowledge.
- The edge is not just about routing traffic, but also about security, authentication, rate limiting, and other features.
- The future of cloud native APIs will be shaped by the need for a comprehensive edge solution that can handle multiple protocols and traffic types.
- Developers need to be empowered to own the code from idea to production, and to have a say in the workflow and architecture of their applications.
- Teams need to have a good understanding of the entire stack, from the application to the edge, to be able to troubleshoot and maintain their applications.
- The rise of cloud native APIs has led to the need for a new kind of API gateway, one that can handle multiple protocols and traffic types, and provide features like service discovery, routing, and security.
- The edge is where the future of cloud native APIs will be shaped, with the need for edge infrastructure, edge computing, and edge gateways.
