Exposing Services with the Kubernetes Gateway API
The Gateway API is the next generation of the Ingress API, one of the most widely used resources across Kubernetes. We will explore the rich set of features provided by this API and deep dive into a demo-oriented talk where we will learn how to expose applications outside the cluster boundaries. We will leverage the Kong Gateway Operator to deploy the controlplane (Kong Ingress Controller) and dataplane (Kong), then, with the help of the Gateway API, expose services outside the cluster boundaries and perform traffic splitting and load balancing based on different rules.
Unlocking the Power of Programmable Data Planes in Kubernetes with eBPF
Programmable data planes offer dynamic control for cloud native applications. Technologies like eBPF and Kubernetes provide an abstraction to improve flexibility, scalability, and performance.
Kubernetes Monitoring: Top 5 Tools & Methodologies
A crucial part of Kubernetes monitoring is about choosing the right tool and methodology. This post introduces 5 popular options.
Announcing WSO2 API Platform for Kubernetes
Our next-generation API management platform built on a Kubernetes-native architecture on top of Envoy Proxy
Docker Logging
As more organizations are moving to a cloud-native architecture, there is an ever-increasing need to monitor applications and services. Logging is a crucial part of this process, as it provides the insights and visibility to identify potential issues and track application performance. When it comes to managing and monitoring applications, Docker logging is an essential part of the process.
How to Create a Kubernetes Preview Environment
A Kubernetes preview environment is an isolated environment that allows developers to test their code at any time without worrying about how others may be affected. While implementations and use cases may vary, simulating a production environment as closely as possible is the main goal. Imagine you’re part of a team developing a complex API, and you’ve been tasked with adding a new endpoint that relies on features within the codebase currently being optimized by one of your team members.
Building a Mock Server from User Traffic in Kubernetes
A mock server can prove useful in many circumstances. Imagine you’re an engineer working on optimizing a feature inside of an existing API that relies on multiple other microservices to function properly. To fully test the optimizations, you’ll have to set up test versions of all the dependencies, which quickly proves to be quite a task in and of itself. This is where a mocks—a server that simulates the behavior of a real server—can be very beneficial.
Optimize Kubernetes Performance Part 3: Streamlining Development
In this third and final part, you’ll get to see a few examples that aren’t strictly related to configuration changes or new tools, but rather ways that traffic replay can help streamline the development process for those deploying in Kubernetes.

Kubernetes Preview Environments - Adoption, Use Cases & Implementations
No matter what application you're building and who your target customers are, everyone can agree that it's critical to avoid broken deployments. To aid in this goal, many tools and concepts have been invented, with Kubernetes preview environments being one of them. In this post, you'll get a deeper understanding of how preview environments work, how organizations are using them, and how you can get started yourself. But to put it simply: preview environments allow teams to deploy a version of their applications during the development process, interacting with it as if it was deployed in production.
