Appears to be an API gateway for Kubernetes, written in Java (standard Apache project I guess), with little to no indication on why, or what its differences + benefits from other projects are. In that sense I guess it is similar to half the other Apache projects.

So like Apache APISIX, that was discussed here recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32854334
Yep, APISIX seems to breaking the mould somewhat though - it’s not primarily Java-based. Comparatively, its documentation is also somewhat clearer - it’s explicitly built on top of open-resty/Nginx, and its integration points are more clearly defined. This project lists a number of formats (from common to semi-obscure) and some language integrations, but doesn’t detail actual networking protocols? It’s strange. Maybe it’s a just a translation detail?
Shen Yu was remembered as the one who conquered flood for the first time in history by accommodating, rather than blocking the river flows, which might be why it's chosen.
