API Gateway
REST which stands for Representational State Transfer is an architectural style that governs how APIs are designed and built. REST’s popularity and ease of implementation make it the most preferred API architectural style for modern-day software development as compared to other protocols such as SOAP (simple object access protocol).
REST APIs or RESTful web services have become the backbone for efficient communication between client and server in modern-day software development. However, to build efficient and robust REST APIs, it is crucial to follow some standard best practices.
In this blog, we’ll explore REST API best practices that can help you build scalable, maintainable, secure, and robust APIs.

Kubernetes API Gateway
The Ambassador Labs team had a blast at KubeCon 2023 in Chicago this past week, and we were busy spotting the top trends that developers and tech professionals can expect more of in the new year. Here’s our list inspired by conference speakers, attendees, sponsors, and industry experts:
The Buzziest: Platform Engineering, DevEx, Cloud Infrastructure, & AI
We can’t have a KubeCon conference without mentioning some of the biggest and buzziest themes of the year. Countless attendees brought up the increasing interest in platform engineering, improving Kubernetes developer experience specifically, and of course–the role that AI will play in the Kubernetes world moving forward.

API Gateway, Kubernetes
Kubernetes has become a cornerstone of enterprise computing, with DZone’s 2023 report revealing that 80% of enterprises have adopted it.
But every one of those 80% knows that Kubernetes management becomes critical as you scale using containerization. Kubernetes isn’t set-and-forget. Instead, you must constantly look for optimizations and efficiencies in your Kubernetes use.
One of the best options for managing these burdens is a Kubernetes API gateway. API gateways act as a critical intermediary between your Kubernetes-managed microservices and the external traffic they handle. They simplify the complexity of managing multiple services by offering a single entry point consolidating service calls into a unified interface.

Service Mesh
On Season Three, Episode Three of the Livin’ on the Edge podcast, I spoke with Jose Carlos Chavez, who is a software engineer at Tetrate and heavily involved with Istio, an open-source service mesh, that has been making waves in the world of microservices and cloud-native applications. Istio offers a range of features for traffic management, security, and observability, making it a valuable tool for developers and DevOps teams.
In this episode, Jose Carlos dove into his background in software and observability, including his experience with open tracing and open telemetry.
