Hi all, It has been noticed during a doc recomposition that the developer experience of working with L4 and L7 proxies enablement in APISIX conf/config.yaml file are somewhat subpar. The motivation of this discussion is to see if people want to improve the design on the engineering side for a better developer experience.
Currently in APISIX conf/config.yaml: 1. To enable only the L7 proxy, one should - set apisix.enable_admin to true (default); and - not defineapisix.stream_proxy yaml block 2. To enable only the L4 stream proxy, one should - set apisix.enable_admin to false; - define apisix.stream_proxy yaml block; and - set apisix.stream_proxy.only to true Relevant code: https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/1434335041c6e054f7b6afb0401aea0a069b0ad7/apisix/cli/ops.lua#L272-L277 3. To enable both L4 & L7 proxies, one should - set apisix.enable_admin to true (default) - define apisix.stream_proxy yaml block It seems that the value of apisix.stream_proxy.only does not have any effect. The relevant doc is currently at https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/stream-proxy/#how-to-enable-stream-proxy I am also making some improvements to this doc in this PR (work in progress, collaborations welcomed): https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/9367 Thanks, Traky Deng
