+## What is an API Gateway?
+
+An [API gateway](https://microservices.io/patterns/apigateway.html) is an API
management tool that acts as a mid layer service between a client and a number
backend services. Typically, the API gateway receives the clients requests and
processes it by summoning multiple microservices, aggregating the services and
returning the appropriate results.
+
+## What is Apache APISIX?
+
+An [API gateway](https://microservices.io/patterns/apigateway.html) is an API
management tool that acts as a mid-layer service between a client and a number
of backend services. Typically, the API gateway receives the client's requests
and processes them by summoning multiple microservices, aggregating the
services, and returning the appropriate results.
+
+## What is Apache APISIX
+
+Apache APISIX is an open-source, dynamic and high-performance cloud-native API
gateway that delivers the ultimate performance for all your APIs and
microservices. Think of APISIX as a service bus that connects APIs and
microservices in your cloud-native architecture.
+Apache APISIX facilitates interface traffic handling for Websites, Mobile and
IoT applications by providing services such as load balancing, dynamic
upstream, grayscale publishing, refined routing, current and speed limiting,
and many more.
+
+### The problem APISIX solves?
+
+ - Help enterprises to solve the difficulties in the transformation of
traditional monolithic architecture, so as to achieve rapid iteration of
business and products.
+ - Apache APISIX replaces NGINX and handles traditional north-south traffic.
It also replaces Envoy to handle east-west traffic between services.
+ - Handles Layer 4 and Layer 7 traffic: HTTP, HTTPs, TCP, UDP, MQTT, Dubbo,
gRPC, etc.
+ - It can also be used as a [K8s ingress
controller](https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller).
+ - Use IdP plugin as Zero-Trust gateway
+ - Easy to use: APISIX also consists of a built-in low-code dashboard that
offers a powerful and flexible interface. You can write your own custom plugins
or use custom load balancing algorithms.
+
+## Features
+
+Apache APISIX not only covers the traditional functions of NGINX, but also
deeply cooperates with different observability platforms, which greatly
improves service governance capabilities. Other characteristics of the Apache
APISIX gateway includes:
+
+ - Multi-Platform Support:
+ APISIX is a cloud native, open source API gateway. You can run APISIX from
bare-metal to Kubernetes. Since APISIX supports ARM64, it avoids the lock-in
challenge of the infrastructure technology. It also provides integration to
cloud providers like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Lua functions and Apache
OpenWhisk.
+
+ - Full Dynamic:
+ The biggest feature of Apache APISIX is that it is fully dynamic. That
includes routing, SSL certificates, plugins, upstream etc. It adopts
hot-reloading so, every feature can be dynamically configured by the admin API,
without having to restart the service at all.
+
+ - Fine-Grained Routing:
+ Support all Nginx built-in variables as conditions for routing, so you can
use cookie, args, etc. as routing conditions to implement canary release, A/B
testing, etc. Apache APISIX provides operators that serve as judgment
conditions for routing and a custom routing matching function. By using GraphQL
attributes, APISIX allows you to filter routes.
+
+ - OPS Friendly:
+ Apache APISIX has been adopted amongst organisation’s DevOps team because
of it Ops-friendly strategy. it supports numerous tools and platforms like
HashiCorp Vault,
[Zipkin](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/plugins/zipkin.md),
[Apache
SkyWalking](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/plugins/skywalking.md),
[Consul](https://github.com/Anita-ihuman/apisix/blob/Introduction/docs/en/latest/discovery/consul_kv.md),
[...]
+
+ - Multi-Language Support:
+ Apache APISIX is a multi-language gateway for plugin development and
supports multiple languages via RPC and Wasm. Developers choose the language
according to their needs and write the code according to the language-specific
SDKs. The plugin can be integrated with APISIX by compiling it to Wasm
(WebAssembly) bytecode. Optionally, developers can leverage the `plugin
runners` to implement specific RPC methods (the actual business logic).
Currently, APISIX supports plugin runners in Jav [...]

This guide walks through how you can get up and running with Apache APISIX.
