Higress: AI-Native API Gateway for Cloud-Native and AI Services
Higress is an AI-Native API Gateway, built upon the foundation of Envoy, designed for managing API traffic with advanced AI integration capabilities. It provides robust traffic control, security, and observability features tailored for modern microservices and AI/ML workloads.
Project Introduction
Summary
Higress is an open-source, AI-native API Gateway developed by Alibaba. It extends the capabilities of the Envoy proxy with built-in AI features to provide intelligent, high-performance API traffic management for cloud-native and AI-centric architectures.
Problem Solved
Traditional API gateways often lack the intelligence needed to optimally manage traffic for dynamic, AI-driven services. Higress addresses this by integrating AI directly into the gateway, enabling smarter traffic control, enhanced security, and better operational insights for AI/ML endpoints and applications.
Core Features
AI-Native Traffic Management
Leverages AI capabilities for intelligent traffic routing, anomaly detection, and advanced API management decisions based on real-time data.
Envoy-Powered Performance
Based on the high-performance Envoy proxy, providing proven scalability, reliability, and a rich ecosystem of filters and extensions.
Full-Featured API Gateway
Comprehensive API management features including authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and observability tailored for AI services.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
Higress is ideal for scenarios requiring sophisticated API management, especially when dealing with AI/ML workloads or complex microservice architectures.
