Accelerate Docker builds with cache

Speed and efficiency are paramount during the build process. If you use a Dockerfile to build your container images from source code, you want to know about build cache. In this blog post, we’ll talk about what happens when you create a Docker image using a Dockerfile, how caching works with Docker, and how to optimize your Dockerfiles to maximize the benefits of build cache with Docker and on Koyeb.

Dockerfile Deployment on High-Performance MicroVMs is GA

Today, we are excited to announce the support of Dockerfile based deployments in general availability. You can now deploy any GitHub repository that contains a Dockerfile across all our locations worldwide. It can be used to deploy APIs, full-stack applications as well as workers with no extra cost. Building and deploying using Dockerfiles offers more flexibility: you can deploy any kind of application, framework, and runtime, including with custom system dependencies.

The Future of API Gateways on Kubernetes #WordsUnplugged

In this #WordsUnplugged video, we examine how API gateways have evolved, how traditional API gateways fall short in supporting Kubernetes cloud native environments, today's API gateway requirements, why Envoy is the best standard on which to build next-generation API gateways, and the future of API management on #kubernetes.

Unlocking the Power of Programmable Data Planes in Kubernetes with eBPF #WordsUnplugged

In a recent article, Lakmal Warusawithana, Senior Director for Cloud Architecture at WSO2, wrote how programmable data planes offer dynamic control for cloud native applications and how technologies like the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) and Kubernetes provide an abstraction to improve flexibility, scalability, and performance. In this WordsUnplugged episode, Lakmal, and Kanchana Wickremasinghe, VP and GM for Choreo at WSO2, sit down to talk about eBPF and its role in creating effective programmable data planes in Kubernetes. They also discuss benefits, challenges, best practices, as well as future trends and opportunities.

Gateway to the Future: A Brief History of Kubernetes Ingress

Join Viktor Gamov, a Principal Developer Advocate with Kong, as he navigates the evolution of Kubernetes Ingress. Starting with the basics, he’ll explain how Ingress is pivotal in managing external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster through HTTP and HTTPS routes. In this talk, Viktor will also address its limitations – the challenge of managing multiple Ingress resources, inconsistencies across different controllers, and inherent limitations in handling non-L7 protocols like TCP and UDP.

The Future of API Gateways on Kubernetes

The exponential growth of the Internet and cloud computing has given rise to applications that are smaller, more distributed, and designed for highly dynamic environments capable of rapidly scaling up or down as needed. These applications have pushed the demand for modern API management product architectures that can leverage cloud native capabilities to achieve scalability, resilience, agility, and cost efficiency.
