For years, exposing Kubernetes pods has been a balancing act—caught between the limitations of Ingress and the adoption of non-standard Ingress Controller resources.

After years of discussions & specifications, GatewayAPI is finally available, offering a flexible, standardized approach to reshaping how organizations manage Kubernetes networking.

In this talk, Emile Vauge (Traefik Creator) and Nicolas Mengin (Traefik Maintainer) will show you how to unlock the full potential of GatewayAPI, exploring its advanced capabilities, and modular design. We’ll explore how it allows you to build more scalable and reliable applications without relying on third-party resources.

The session concludes with a live demonstration illustrating GatewayAPI in action, highlighting its practical implementation and benefits.
