gRPC API Management With a Kubernetes Native API Management Platform

Learn how to securely expose gRPC services to external consumers using a Kubernetes-native API management gateway in this 25-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Discover the unique challenges that arise when exposing gRPC at the edge, including security, routing, and protocol translation issues. Explore a gateway architecture built on Envoy Proxy and the Kubernetes Gateway API specification that addresses these production environment challenges. Understand how to publish gRPC APIs externally with confidence while leveraging gRPC's performance advantages for internal communication. Examine the implementation of critical Quality-of-Service features including authentication, rate limiting, retries, and policy enforcement for external gRPC API consumption. Gain insights into native gRPC routing capabilities and learn practical approaches for managing gRPC APIs in cloud-native environments through real-world examples and architectural patterns.
