Guide to Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API

Modernize Your Kubernetes Ingress with the Gateway API and kgateway

As Kubernetes adoption has matured, so too have the tools for managing ingress traffic. While ingress-nginx and the Ingress API once served as the go-to solutions, they now introduce technical debt, slow down performance, and limit scalability.

Enter the Kubernetes Gateway API, a modern, flexible standard built for today’s cloud-native environments. Powered by dynamic, high-performance proxies like Envoy, the Gateway API delivers improved scalability, extensibility, and developer velocity.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

Migrate from ingress-nginx and the legacy Ingress API
Use kgateway, an open-source CNCF sandbox project backed by Envoy
Leverage the full power of the Kubernetes Gateway API to future-proof your infrastructure

Get started today and upgrade your ingress architecture with a cleaner, more powerful model built for scale.
