A Kubernetes ingress controller that runs Apache APISIX as the gateway for handling inbound cluster traffic. It translates native Kubernetes Ingress, Gateway API, and APISIX CRD resources into APISIX configuration declaratively.
Use cases
- expose kubernetes services to external traffic through an api gateway
- manage ingress routing declaratively with crds
- use gateway api resources with apisix as the data plane
- load balance traffic across pods in a kubernetes cluster
- apply rate limiting and authentication plugins at the cluster edge
- replace nginx ingress with a high-performance apisix gateway
When to choose
- you already run or plan to run Apache APISIX and want Kubernetes-native configuration
- you need declarative CRD-based gateway configuration with rich plugin support
- you want Gateway API support with a high-performance NGINX-based proxy
When to avoid
- you need a simple ingress without gateway features - the standard nginx ingress controller is lighter
- you are not on Kubernetes - use APISIX directly instead
- your cluster is older than Kubernetes 1.31
