Overview

Apoxy is an open-source edge platform built on Envoy, Kubernetes API infrastructure, and QUIC tunneling. It provides three core capabilities: a fully-featured API gateway with Gateway API routing, an edge computing runtime for JS/WASM/Go functions, and secure tunneling via QUIC and connect-ip protocols.

Apoxy Cloud is the managed offering. It handles DNS registration, instant TLS certificates, and built-in observability so you can focus on routing and logic instead of infrastructure.

Deployment options

Choose the deployment model that fits your environment:

• Apoxy Cloud — Fully managed. The free tier includes DNS and TLS.
• Self-hosted on Kubernetes — Full control. Run the control plane and data plane in your own cluster.
• Standalone binary — Use apoxy dev for local testing or apoxy run for standalone edge nodes.

Configuration

All deployment models use the same configuration patterns:

• CLI — The apoxy command for quick operations and local development.
• YAML manifests — Kubernetes-style CRDs (Proxy, Gateway, HTTPRoute, EdgeFunction). Apply with apoxy apply -f or kubectl apply.
• Dashboard — Web UI for managing Apoxy Cloud projects.
