A Hitchhiker's Guide to Cloud Native API Gateways - Mario-Leander Reimer

This talk covers the significance of effective API management in cloud native applications and highlights the API gateway pattern as a solution for concerns such as routing, versioning, rate limiting, access control, and service catalogs in microservice architectures. The speaker, Leander, begins by explaining the API gateway pattern and establishing a simple criteria catalog for comparison. He then delves into the cloud native API gateway ecosystem, examining tools such as Ambassador, Gloo, Kong, Tyc, and KrakenD, to help determine which API gateway is best suited for your next project.
