Taming the Traffic: Selecting the Perfect Gateway Implementation for You - Spencer Hance, Google; Arko Dasgupta, Tetrate; Christine Kim, Isovalent at Cisco; Kate Osborn, NGINX/F5; Mike Morris, Microsoft
Wednesday April 2, 2025 16:15 - 16:45 BST
Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room 1
The Kubernetes Gateway API has emerged as the next-generation standard for managing ingress traffic, promising greater flexibility and expressiveness than traditional Ingress resources. But with a growing ecosystem of almost 30 implementations, choosing the right one for your specific needs can feel overwhelming. This panel discussion brings together 5 experts at the forefront of Gateway API development to help you navigate this evolving landscape. Each panelist is actively involved in implementing the Gateway API and contributing to the OSS project itself. Together, the panelists represent all the different categories of implementations you might be considering - including service mesh.

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the key considerations when selecting a Gateway API implementation. We will discuss things like API conformance, scalability, performance, integrations, installation, management, and much more!
