I was reluctant to click on the link expecting another Java project, but it seems to be based on Go. Refreshing. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Mostly Lua, it seems.

#12Anybody has any idea about how this compares to Kong (what I've been using for years)?
I have no experience with any of these but maybe this helps: https://apisix.apache.org/blog/2022/07/30/why-we-need-apache...
Nice, thanks for sharing.
It seems like an improved Kong, using the good parts of it, like Nginx and Lua. It makes me want to use it instead of the usual Kong, in next project.

Lua doesn't make it easy to create your own plugins at all. Kong guys themselves tried to offer a good use experience for this but failed more than once.

Also, it's not true that you need a database to run Kong. You can make it run with a declarative config.

#15What is the advantage of using this compared to plain Nginx or Envoy? Is it just static vs. dynamic config for routing?

#16I had to investigate a bit various options and settled on krakend mostly since it's simple and easy to write custom Middleware.

#17I can't find the code. My biggest problem with Envoy is it's in C++, what's this written in?

Looks like mostly Lua because it based on OpenResty

#19OT 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…
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 j…
You can run envoy pretty easily like that but the config can be a bit heavy (imo) unless you really want to read through the docs
Here's an example (top Google result) https://amalaruja.medium.com/basic-http-routing-strategies-w...

#20What is the main benefit to running a gateway? Auth should already be handled by the api and adding things like rate limiting, ip address filtering ,caching and so on are ridiculously trivial..
