Kgateway is an open-source, Envoy-powered, Kubernetes-native API gateway and ingress controller that implements the Kubernetes Gateway API with its own control plane, letting teams manage north-south and east-west traffic with modern routing, resiliency, authn/z, and policy extensions—plus emerging “AI gateway” use cases. Originally created by Solo.io as Gloo Gateway, it was donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and accepted as a Sandbox project on March 4, 2025, with ongoing docs, labs, and a GitHub org under the new name.
