README
An Envoy-Powered, Kubernetes-Native API Gateway
## About kgateway
Kgateway is:
* **An ingress/edge router for Kubernetes**: Powered by [Envoy](https://www.envoyproxy.io) and programmed with the [Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/), kgateway is a world-leading Cloud Native ingress.
* **An advanced API gateway**: Aggregate web APIs and apply key functions like authentication, authorization and rate limiting in one place
* **A better waypoint proxy for [ambient mesh](https://ambientmesh.io/)**: Use the same stack for east-west management as you do for north-south.
* **An AI gateway for securing LLMs**: Protect applications, models, and data from inappropriate access or use, whether you're producing or consuming. Manage traffic to LLM providers, and enrich prompts at a system level.
* **A migration engine for hybrid apps**: Route to backends implemented as microservices, serverless functions or legacy apps. This can help you gradually migrate from legacy code to microservices and serverless, add new functionalities using cloud-native technologies while maintaining a legacy codebase or allow different teams in an organization to choose different architectures.
Kgateway is feature-rich, fast, and flexible. It excels in function-level routing, supports legacy apps, microservices and serverless, offers robust discovery capabilities, integrates seamlessly with open-source projects, and is designed to support hybrid applications with various technologies, architectures, protocols, and clouds.
The project was previously known as Gloo, and has been [production-ready since 2019](https://www.solo.io/blog/announcing-gloo-1-0-a-production-ready-envoy-based-api-gateway). Please see [the migration plan](https://github.com/kgateway-dev/kgateway/issues/10363) for more information and the current status of the change from Gloo to kgateway.
