2. 3 Billion Downloads 45K+ Stars on Github 700 Contributors 100,000s Nodes in Production Kubernetes-native API Management Traefik Proxy Commercial Offering Cloud-native OSS Ingress Controller Who We Are
3. API growth outpaces governance, slowing innovation. The Context
4. Collaboration challenges hinder API updates. The Challenge
5. Inefficient manual APIM processes lead to inefficiencies and uncertainties. The Current Way
6. Cloud-native infrastructure and apps teams faced similar challenges. A Better Way Their answer? GitOps for Modern Operations.
7. 1. Declarative: Collaboration & Checks 2. Versioned and Immutable: Full Auditability & Reproducibility 3. Pulled Automatically: Repeatability & Efficiency 4. Continuously Reconciled: Reliability GitOps Principles v1.0.0 Effortless Collaboration and Unparalleled Reliability
8. • Declarative Configurations • Collaborative, Fully auditable Version Control • Early checks for safe changes • Reliability with Automated deployments • Incident Mitigation with instant rollback. kind: APIRateLimit metadata: name: ratelimit-1 spec: period: 1m average: 100 burst: 20 strategy: distributed groups: - bronze Modern API Operations
