  title: kgateway Kubernetes Gateway AI Backend API
  description: kgateway is the most widely deployed gateway in Kubernetes for microservices and AI agents. It is a feature-rich, fast, and flexible Kubernetes-native ingress controller and next-generation API gateway built on top of Envoy proxy and the Kubernetes Gateway API. kgateway provides custom resource definitions (CRDs) under the gateway.kgateway.dev API group for configuring traffic policies, backends, direct responses, gateway extensions, gateway parameters, HTTP listener policies, and AI backends. These resources are managed through the Kubernetes API server.
