Other characteristics of the Apache APISIX gateway includes: +### Features - - Multi-Platform Support: - APISIX is a cloud native, open source API gateway. You can run APISIX from bare-metal to Kubernetes. Since APISIX supports ARM64, it avoids the lock-in challenge of the infrastructure technology. It also provides integration to cloud providers like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Lua functions and Apache OpenWhisk. +- Multi-platform support: APISIX can run from bare-metal machines to Kubernetes providing a vendor neutral, multi-platform solution. It also provides integration to cloud services like AWS Lambda, Azure Function, Lua functions and Apache OpenWhisk. +- Fully dynamic: APISIX supports hot-reloading, meaning you don't need to restart the service to reflect changes in the configuration. +- Fine-grained routing: APISIX supports using all built-in Nginx variables for routing. You can define custom matching functions to filter Routes. +- Ops-friendly: APISIX is renowned for its ops-friendliness by DevOps teams. It integrates with tools and platforms like [HashiCorp Vault](./plugins/jwt-auth.md#usage-with-hashicorp-vault), [Zipkin](./plugins/zipkin.md), [Apache SkyWalking](./plugins/skywalking.md), [Consul](./discovery/consul_kv.md), [Nacos](./discovery/nacos.md) and [Eureka](./discovery.md). With [APISIX Dashboard](https://github.com/apache/apisix-dashboard), operators can configure APISIX through an easy-to-use and intuitive UI. +- Multi-language Plugin support: APISIX supports multiple programming languages for Plugin development. Developers can choose a language-specific SDK to write custom Plugins. - - Full Dynamic: - The biggest feature of Apache APISIX is that it is fully dynamic. That includes routing, SSL certificates, plugins, upstream etc. It adopts hot-reloading so, every feature can be dynamically configured by the admin API, without having to restart the service at all. +## Key concepts - - Fine-Grained Routing: - Support all Nginx built-in variables as conditions for routing, so you can use cookie, args, etc. as routing conditions to implement canary release, A/B testing, etc. Apache APISIX provides operators that serve as judgment conditions for routing and a custom routing matching function. By using GraphQL attributes, APISIX allows you to filter routes. +Here is a high-level overview of APISIX's software architecture: - - OPS Friendly: - Apache APISIX has been adopted amongst organisation’s DevOps team because of it Ops-friendly strategy. it supports numerous tools and platforms like HashiCorp Vault, [Zipkin](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/plugins/zipkin.md), [Apache SkyWalking](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/plugins/skywalking.md), [Consul](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/discovery/consul_kv.md), [Nacos](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/discovery/nacos.md), [Eureka](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/discovery.md), etc. With a user friendly [dashboard](https://github.com/apache/apisix-dashboard), Apache APISIX makes it is easy for users/admins to operate APISIX through a frontend interface. + - - Multi-Language Support: - Apache APISIX is a multi-language gateway for plugin development and supports multiple languages via RPC and Wasm. Developers choose the language according to their needs and write the code according to the language-specific SDKs. The plugin can be integrated with APISIX by compiling it to Wasm (WebAssembly) bytecode. Optionally, developers can leverage the `plugin runners` to implement specific RPC methods (the actual business logic). Currently, APISIX supports plugin runners in Java, Golang, Python and Node.js. +The table below defines the key concepts and components of APISIX referenced in this guide: -## Summary +| Concept/Component | Description | +|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Route | Routes specify how requests to APISIX are forwarded to the Upstream. They match a client's request based on defined rules and loads and executes the configured Plugins. | +| Upstream | Upstream is the service to forward your requests to. They can be configured to a Route or abstracted out to an Upstream object. | +| Admin API | API that lets users control their deployed APISIX instance. | -This guide walks through how you can get up and running with Apache APISIX. +## Before you begin -The guide is divided into these three steps: +Before you start with APISIX, make sure you have the following tools installed: -1.
