☸️ gotway

Cloud native API Gateway powered with in-redis cache.

• API composition: expose your services to the internet using a single endpoint
• Cloud native: configure routing and cache using Kubernetes CRDs
• In-memory cache using redis
• Cache invalidation using tags
• Health checking
• Management REST API
• ~6MB Docker image available for multiple architectures
• Helm chart

Installation

helm repo add mmontes https://mmontes11.github.io/charts
helm repo add gotway https://gotway.github.io/gotway
helm install redis mmontes/redis
helm install gotway gotway/gotway

Quickstart

We will need microservices to route to in order to test Gotway, you can deploy some by running:

helm upgrade --install gotway gotway/gotway --set examples.enabled=true

Let's register the catalog service into Gotway by creating an IngressHTTP CRD:

kubectl apply -f ./manifests/examples/catalog.yml 

apiVersion: gotway.io/v1alpha1
kind: IngressHTTP
metadata:
  name: catalog
spec:
  match:
    host: catalog.gotway.duckdns.org:9111
  service:
    name: catalog
    url: http://gotway-catalog
    healthPath: /health
  cache:
    ttl: 30
    statuses:
      - 200
      - 404
    tags:
      - "catalog"
      - "products"

We are now able to route requests through Gotway:

curl -k --request GET 'https://catalog.gotway.duckdns.org:9111/products' | jq

{
    "products": [
        {
            "id": 911902081,
            "name": "sneakers",
            "price": 69000,
            "color": "white",
            "size": "42"
        }
    ],
    "totalCount": 1
}

This response has a TTL of 30 seconds, let's invalidate the cache for the catalog service by providing one of its tags:

curl -k --request DELETE 'https://gotway.duckdns.org:9111/api/cache' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "tags": ["catalog"]
}'
