Welcome to this edition of Ctrl+Alt+Deploy 🚀

Hey there! 👋
If you work with Kubernetes, you've probably heard the big news: the widely used, community-managed Ingress-NGINX project is being retired.
For years, it's been the default, go-to tool for getting traffic into our clusters. But don't panic! This isn't a crisis. It's an upgrade. The old Ingress API, for all its utility, had some fundamental limitations that many of us have felt for a while. This change is our collective chance to move to something much more powerful, flexible, and officially part of Kubernetes: the Gateway API.
Let's dive into what it is and why it's a huge step forward for everyone.
