Emissary-Ingress: Self-Service APIs and the Kubernetes Gateway API

This presentation explores Emissary-Ingress, a Kubernetes-native API gateway and ingress controller, focusing on self-service API management and its integration with the Kubernetes Gateway API. The speakers detail the necessity of ingress controllers, the benefits of self-service developer workflows for both developers and operations, and how Emissary-Ingress facilitates these processes. The talk also covers best practices for designing and evolving self-service APIs, and discusses the future evolution of Emissary-Ingress, particularly its support for the emerging Kubernetes Gateway API standard.
