Full fledged Api gateway?

[cloudcompute]

Can we consider this package as an alternative to popular Api gateways like Kong, Tyk, etc.

Any good companies using it in production?

It looks like certain pieces of functionality are missing like IP filtering. Kindly advice soon.

Thanks

Depends on how you use it :)

Of course :) For many years

Like IP Filtering? What else? I think all these can implemented just like Rate Limiting plugin. PRs are welcome.

@ardatan Thanks for the response.

Few more questions.

Depends on how you use it :)

a. I want to use it in a cloud-native application that involves Kubernetes, Event sourcing, and Microservices, and GraphQL.
Is it possible to use it instead of KrakenD.. a complete replacement? Here is the exhaustive list of features that KrakenD API gateway offers.

b. Don't we need something like NginX in front of this gateway? Because of NginX's ability to handle millions of requests easily, it is almost always used in front of a Node application written using Express.

Thanks

I never heard KrakenD before. You can check the existing plugins in our website and also Envelop's Plugin Hub and compare the functionalities by yourself. Thanks to the plugin system, we can hook into every single piece of the entire pipeline. So any missing functionality can be implemented easily as a plugin.

Nginx is a solution for a different problem. Load balancing etc is not in the scope of GraphQL Mesh.

Yes, I got (from your previous reply) it that we can implement as many features as we want using the plugins.

How can this package be useful in K8S environment, I am still trying to figure out.

Thanks for your quick response.

Hi,
i proposed this gateway to my team and my ops manager rejected due to the fact that it isn't released into a stable version 1.x...

Do you know any company that is using in a production enviroment in a stable manner?
