Warning: Work in progress (WIP)

Warning: Experimental. Do not use in production.

An experimental layer 4 load-balancer built using eBPF with ebpf-go for use in Kubernetes via the Kubernetes Gateway API.

Note: The word "blixt" means "lightning" in Swedish.

This is presently a work-in-progress. The intention for now is to create a proof-of-concept which achieves the following:

• can support the specification of Gateway/GatewayClass
• can support the full specification of UDPRoute
• can support the full specification of TCPRoute
• (MAYBE?) support the full specification of TLSRoute

After these goals are achieved, further goals will be decided. Until then this should be considered only a fun experiment, and used for nothing more.

Deploy Gateway API CRDs:

$ kubectl kustomize https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/config/crd | kubectl apply -f -

Deploy:

$ kubectl kustomize config/default | kubectl apply -f -
