K8s API Gateway: Service Mesh Strategies for Scalable Solutions
summary
Claims measured by tools and outcomes not buzzwords: a Kubernetes native API gateway plus service mesh stack proves scalable in production, handling thousands of services with automated failover and automated canary deployments, latency and error reduction via mutual TLS (mTLS) and circuit breakers, and observability from Prometheus Grafana and tracing. Implementation notes list Helm charts, HPA/VPA autoscaling, adaptive rate limiting, GitOps CRDs and lighter options like Linkerd with resource overheads and rollback behaviour explicitly documented.
