Traefik Labs announced API Sandbox as a Service to streamline and accelerate mock API development, and Traefik Proxy v3.2.

"These announcements reflect our unwavering commitment towards API management innovation and supporting open standards like GatewayAPI," added Sudeep Goswami, CEO of Traefik Labs. "By simplifying API management and offering best-of-breed solutions like our new API Sandbox as a Service in partnership with Microcks, we are taking on the heavy lift of pre-integration, testing, and validation. This empowers developers and organizations to focus on innovation and delivering value, rather than getting bogged down by infrastructure complexities."

Traefik Labs API Sandbox as a Service acts as an API playground for developers to create, publish, and consume mock APIs with a production-like user experience and robust service-level agreements. Whether deployed as SaaS or on-premises, the API Sandbox offers a turnkey environment that accelerates development and enhances collaboration without the usual operational complexities. By automating mock generation from OpenAPI Specifications, seamlessly publishing mock APIs to gateways and developer portals, and providing instant access for developers, Traefik’s solution ensures a streamlined and efficient API development process.

Traefik Proxy v3.2 is one of only five solutions to integrate support for Gateway API 1.2, including GRPCRoute, TLSRoute, and enhancements to HTTPRoute such as h2c (HTTP/2 without TLS), WebSocket support for backends, port matching in rules, and response header modification.

"Since pioneering one of the first Ingress Controllers in 2016, Traefik Labs has been at the forefront of Kubernetes networking," said Emile Vauge, Founder and CTO of Traefik Labs. "Our active involvement in the Kubernetes SIG-Network community has allowed us to influence the Gateway API's development, ensuring it addresses real-world needs for user experience, security, and flexibility."
