Ambassador Edge Stack Becomes First Cloud Native API Gateway To Support HTTP/3 For High Performance Enterprise EnvironmentsBOSTON, June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambassador Labs, the cloud native developer experience leader, today announced the newest release of Ambassador Edge Stack, an integrated edge solution that empowers developer teams to quickly configure the edge services required to build, deliver, and scale applications for Kubernetes. HTTP/3 support has been added to Ambassador Edge Stack v3.0 and Emissary-ingress, the CNCF project originally donated by the company, making it simple for developers to manage and observe traffic from the Internet to their Kubernetes services, and to do so with resilience and security at scale. Ambassador Labs also announced a series of learning programs, including the new Kubernetes Learning Center (KLC) site designed to boost skills for developers and platform engineering teams. “Ambassador Edge Stack is a trusted self-service edge offering that eliminates the ops change request backlog and gives power to the developers to implement policy changes to support faster app release cycles with confidence,” said Richard Li, co-founder and CEO at Ambassador. “Our newest release reinforces our commitment to the developer experience as they take ownership of the full app lifecycle. An intuitive interface makes it simple for developers to own policy changes at the edge - with full visibility into any and all changes made - so they can release applications fast, more frequently and with the highest level of security.” A Comprehensive Edge Stack "Our team at Mercedes-Benz uses Ambassador as an Ingress for all HTTP communications from 12 million cars in production. We see about a billion hits per day, serving 14 million requests at its peak through Ambassador in a five-minute interval through all our regions combined. Mercedes-Benz collects roughly 9 terabytes of traffic from requests in a day,” says Nashon Steffen, Staff Infrastructure Development Engineer at Mercedes-Benz. “Ambassador makes it very easy for us to manage ndpoints across all our regions worldwide and is able to seamlessly adapt and work with every region’s 80 different endpoints, each with varying configuration requirements." Ambassador Edge Stack with new HTTP/3 protocol support makes it easier than ever for developers to configure even more services at the edge so they can run applications and alert teams to all new application functions faster and with greater security. With 73% of running browsers and over 25% of websites using the HTTP/3 protocol to exchange data on the web, Ambassador Edge Stack customers now benefit from even more protocol choices to deliver and manage microservices at scale. HTTP/3 is especially beneficial for users with lossy networks, such as cell/mobile-based apps, IoT devices, or apps serving emerging markets. The increased resilience through rapid reconnection and the reduced latency from the new protocol will benefit all types of Internet traffic, such as typical web browsing/search, ecommerce/finance, or the use of interactive web-based applications, all of which can encounter packet loss of 2%+ on the underlying networks. The newest release of Ambassador Edge Stack follows recent technology partnerships and product innovations, all designed to unlock developer productivity for cloud native teams. These include:
