Emissary-ingress: Intro and Deep Dive

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

An Envoy‑based Kubernetes API gateway that focuses on developer‑centric self‑service routing and centralized auth, rate‑limit and observability, with production integrations for Istio/Linkerd and Consul. Project donated to CNCF in 2021, Emissary 2.0 ships a conversion layer (apixed) between getambassador.io v2 and v3 alpha1, and the team reports 30 releases, 2,300 commits and 7,500 users on Slack. Roadmap: input‑language cleanups (camelCase, durations, consolidated host and cluster config), eventual v3 CRDs and Emissary 3.0 that drops Envoy v2 transport; ongoing collaboration with the new Envoy Gateway.
