Apache APISIX is a cloud-native API gateway that also serves as an AI gateway, built on nginx and LuaJit. Its topics indicate it handles API management, load balancing, reverse proxying, and Kubernetes ingress, with OpenAPI 3.x support.

You reach for it when you need a single gateway to route, proxy, and manage API or AI traffic across microservices and Kubernetes.

Use it to

  • Manage API traffic for microservices
  • Serve as a Kubernetes ingress gateway
  • Proxy and load-balance backend services
  • Gate AI model traffic
  • Expose serverless and IoT endpoints

For Platform and DevOps teams managing API traffic
