**Apache APISIX** is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance API gateway.
2019-06-05 17:28:50 +08:00
APISIX provides rich traffic management features such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication, observability, and more.
2019-06-13 12:34:43 +08:00
You can use Apache APISIX to handle traditional north-south traffic,
as well as east-west traffic between services.
It can also be used as a [k8s ingress controller](https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller).
2019-07-06 16:49:06 +08:00

## Get Started
### Configure and Installation
APISIX Installed and tested in the following systems:
CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 9, Debian 10, macOS, **ARM64** Ubuntu 18.04
2019-06-04 19:54:45 +08:00
There are several ways to install the Apache Release version of APISIX:
1. Source code compilation (applicable to all systems)
2021-03-01 14:06:33 +08:00

```shell
$ ./bin/apisix version
```
- start APISIX:
```shell
$ ./bin/apisix start
```
2. [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/apisix) applicable to all systems
By default, the latest Apache release package will be pulled:
```shell
$ docker pull apache/apisix
```
2021-03-31 10:20:13 +08:00
