The cloud-native API gateway APISIX became a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation in 2020 and has widespread adoption around the world. 
Thanks to the contributions from over 400 developers and hundreds of companies worldwide, Apache APISIX can handle both north-south API requests and east-west traffic to the service mesh.
Apache APISIX has become an important infra middleware, and we hope it can meet the needs in more scenarios, including observability, security, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud.
In this keynote, Ming Wen, Chair of Apache APISIX PMC, will introduce the future of Apache APISIX in detail. More developers are welcome to participate and contribute.

Etcd is a core component of the Apache APISIX control plane, so its stability is very important to Apache APISIX. However, how to manage etcd clusters efficiently and stably in large-scale APISIX scenarios is still a big challenge for APISIX users.
This speech will share some problems and best practices encountered by Tencent in the large-scale use of etcd, and will also introduce how to efficiently manage tens of thousands of etcd clusters through kstone.

In this post, we will first introduce how to deploy Apache APISIX in a traditional bare-metal environment, and then introduce some ideas for deploying and using Apache APISIX in Kubernetes after migrating APISIX to a container environment. Based on that, we will introduce the Ingress mode, further analyze advantages and disadvantages of Apache APISIX Ingress Controller, and share with you the future plan.

How to Use Apache APISIX on Kubernetes

Kubernetes, a cloud-native operating system, has been widely used as the platform for cloud-native application deployment. This raises a question about how to embrace the Kubernetes ecosystem to help enterprises facilitate business migration to the cloud. To get the best of cloud computing, we cannot ignore the technology of service mesh. As an infrastructure for service communication, service mesh forward requests through a complex service topology involving cloud-native applications in a reliable way.So in my speech, I'd like to elaborate on how to make good use of service mesh. Besides, I will introduce the application of service mesh technology in microservice governance and ways to enhance the capabilities and adaptability of service mesh in different microservice scenarios.

Working with APIs refers to a process that includes design, development, and operations. Thus, DevOps is quickly invoked as the paradigm of choice. However, looking at existing CI/CD processes, the question is how the principles of API first are compatible with these processes and what an appropriate setup can look like. All in terms of speed and quality of an excellent API experience, also with regard to the automated deployment of infrastructure components.

Daniel shows in his session how an automated development process of APIs relying on APISIX can contribute to a better delivery of APIs to consumers.

Is it possible to develop Apache APISIX without a fair amount of experience in Lua? Is it hard to develop Apache APISIX's multi-process models? How can we strike a good balance between development efficiency and product stability and performance when customizing Apache APISIX? To answer these questions, I'd like to share Kingsoft Office's experience with Apache APISIX in handling millions of QPS, including the introduction of native Lua modules written in Rust to Apache APISIX and improvement in business architecture to address pain points in software development.
