OT but are any ingress/gateway systems using uring yet?

Really enjoyed reading CloudFlare's justification for wrtiting Pingora gateway recently[1], a similar-ish system. Im interested to see what systems tech (what system calls) it ends up using.

There's a ton of really great ingress/gateway tech out there. Kubernetes has a sublist that's pretty long[2]. There's a good comparison matrix[3] I ran into & it immediately made me very interested in APISIX (lots of box ticking). I think at one point I'd also run into a benchmark somewhere & they were quite performant, top tier. Would be interested to know more about tbeir chosen architecture & what if any performance optimizations they have planned/roadmapped/are-thinking-about.

I was trying to find a simple API gateway I could run as a single docker container on a single host. I ended up using a node-red workflow instead, because I was unable to get any of the options available to me working behind Traefik as my proxy. I tried APIMan first, then APISIX, then API Umbrella (used and developed by US government agency, apparently), and finally Kong. I got the closest with Kong, but decided to just give node-red a try and it worked like a charm as a proxy for another API.

doesn't traefik provide much of the functionality you'd want from an api gateway?

For my use case, this would have to be incredibly awesome for it to justify self-hosting such a complex and critical system. My current go-to solutions are AWS API Gateway, Azure API Manager and Apigee.

I share your concern about managing solutions. I only know AWS API gateway but I can tell you the features it offers are very limited compare to Foss solutions
