In plain words

Ambassador enables developers to use Kubernetes clusters as local development environments at scale. It allows teams to work with infinite-scale infrastructure locally, reducing the gap between development and production setups. The tool is designed for developers and development teams who need to test and iterate on applications within a Kubernetes context without managing complex local configurations. It launched in January 2021 and simplifies the workflow of building and debugging services in containerized environments.

From the sources

With Gravitee’s acquisition of Ambassador and the launch of Gravitee’s Edge Stack federation, you can now bring your entire API ecosystem under a single control plane. Book a demo to explore how Gravitee unifies your Edge Stack and Gravitee APIs into one seamless control plane. If you already use Edge Stack as your gateway, you can now import those APIs directly into Gravitee. No need to maintain separate control planes. Apply consistent access, security, and policy rules across both Gravitee-managed and Edge Stack-managed APIs. Developers can discover, subscribe, and test all your APIs (Edge Stack + Gravitee) from the same developer portal, simplifying onboarding and developer…from getambassador.io

    Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
