Kusk Gateway beta1 - OpenAPI-first for Kubernetes

Folks - we're happy announce beta-1 of our open-source Ingress controller Kusk Gateway - which makes your OpenAPI/Swagger definition the source-of-truth for both functional and operational traits of your API.

If you're using OpenAPI to build REST APIs for Kubernetes Kusk is for you; operational configuration is provided by use of a dedicated x-kusk extension in your OpenAPI/Swagger definition, for example:

x-kusk:
  cors:
    origins:
      - '*'
    methods:
      - POST
      - PATCH
      - DELETE
      - PUT
      - GET
      - OPTIONS
    headers:
      - Content-Type
    credentials: true
    max_age: 86200
  qos:
    retries: 10
    request_timeout: 60 
    idle_timeout: 30

will ensure timeouts and CORS settings for your API when you deploy it.

Or if you're keen on mocking all (or parts) of your API you can add the following:

x-kusk:
  mocking:
    enabled: true

which will result in Kusk Gateway returning mock-responses based on your OpenAPI definition. Read more about mocking: https://kubeshop.github.io/kusk-gateway/extension/#mocking

Since all operational configuration is in your OpenAPI definition you can easily automate the deployment of your APIs as part of a CI/CD/GitOps workflow - for example using ArgoCD or GitHub Actions.
