Apache Apisix API Gateway — A walkthrough!

Sanjit Mohanty — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 16:45:43 +0000

This is the second instalment of “Learning API Gateways” series. In the last episode, we learnt about the Tyk Api Gateway. Below I’m leaving behind some of the relevant links; do checkout these, if you haven’t yet!

Industry landscape of Api Gateways — https://sanjimoh.medium.com/api-gateway-landscape-347b91639f0b
A walkthrough of Tyk Api Gateway — https://dev.to/sanjitun/tyk-api-gateway-a-walkthrough-1npp

My focus has been around Kubernetes platform & how each of the industry API Gateways natively support it.

In today’s episode of Learning API Gateway series, I’ll take you through — Apache Apisix Api Gateway. You can find the video of this episode in the bottom of this article.

Hope you all find it useful!

Note :- Support for Kubernetes Gateway Api exists in Apache Apisix; however there are some caveats -

I felt its documentations could be organised better to make it more accessible; especially finding notes around its support for Kubernetes Gateway API wasn’t really an easy task. You need to install Apisix in a specific way to enable it’s support for Kubernetes Gateway API & this wasn’t very obvious for me to start with.
With the current Apisix SW version, deletion of Kubernetes Gateway httproutes resource doesn’t delete the corresponding Apisix route configurations. I created a GitHub ticket for the same and learnt that this feature is going to be available with the newer version of Apisix (1.5.0) which is yet to be released.

Cloud computing & Global Warming - The untold story!

Sanjit Mohanty — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 22:10:34 +0000

Cloud computing is the buzzword in the industry & its not new but been around for quite good amount of time by now!

Reason for its widespread adoption is its value proposition that it offers through a promise for -

Extra capacity
Resilience, and
More efficient use of storage and processing power

So, by switching to cloud computing we are making more efficient usage of resources available to us!

However, is there a hidden cost behind this lucrative offer? Well, yes & its our very own environment paying the price for it.

Consider any computing device right from your laptop that you use everyday or the super computers — all such devices being electronic in nature requires electricity and upon prolong usage generates considerable heat!

Hence to beat this heat, most of the PCs are installed with a coolant unit (fan).

The bigger & busier the computer, the bigger the coolant & therefore more is the power that it needs. In a typical datacenter, instead of installing such individual fans for each computing device, the temperatures are typically controlled via central air conditioning devices.

With the every growing web & the cloud, the demands placed upon it, means such cloud computing hubs are actually a gigantic consumer of electricity!

Consider some of the hard facts from various sources -

The energy consumption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is increasing by 9% every year.
In 2019, according to KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden), the internet was consuming 10% of the world’s electricity — an increase of 4% on 2016, reflecting the rapid growth of the network and the demands placed upon it.
According to a report by AFP news agency, watching a 30-minute video on Netflix, Prime, and other platforms usually release 1.6 kg of carbon dioxide or a 6 km drive emit the same amount of CO2.

The digital transition as it is currently implemented participates to global warming more than it helps preventing it. If there is a right time to act on it, then it is right NOW!!!

Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms

Sanjit Mohanty — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 16:56:06 +0000

With more & more enterprises adopting micro services based architecture and Kubernetes based orchestration toolings, as part of their cloud native movement, the application security has become far more critical than ever!

In this episode, I will be taking you through one of the most sensible way for enterprises to embrace this indispensable requirement of cloud native application security.

The episode is right below here. Hope you all like it!

Tyk API Gateway — A walkthrough

Sanjit Mohanty — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 17:36:00 +0000

I have been writing & sharing my thoughts around APIs & API Gateways for quite sometime now.

Please do check out the following links on those -

Few months ago, I captured the current landscape of API Gateways in the industry. Link to it is here - https://sanjimoh.medium.com/api-gateway-landscape-347b91639f0b

Post that I started evaluating many of those API Gateways indicated over the above landscape.

I plan to release a series of videos & in each of these episodes, I will pick up one API Gateway and take you all through its capabilities, provisioning along with a demo & in the end share my parting thoughts.

My focus would be mostly around Kubernetes platform and how these API Gateways perform on it.

In the first episode of Learning API Gateway series, I’ll take you through — Tyk Open Source API Gateway.

You can find the video of this episode right below. Hope you all find this useful!
