Ambassador is an open source API gateway and L7 proxy built by Lyft to run on Kubernetes. It provides a Kubernetes-native API gateway that uses annotations for declarative and decentralized configuration. Ambassador simplifies architecture by removing the need for a database, and it can scale automatically via HPA. It also supports features like gRPC, HTTP/2, rate limiting, timeouts, canary releases, and shadowing traffic through the Envoy proxy.
