Tengine-Ingress: High‑Performance Cloud‑Native Ingress Gateway for Alibaba Group
Tengine‑Ingress is Alibaba’s cloud‑native Ingress gateway built on the high‑performance Tengine‑Proxy, replacing the legacy Unified Access with dynamic, loss‑less configuration, per‑domain gray‑rollout, dual‑certificate TLS, real‑time observability, and checksum validation, achieving up to 20 % lower latency, CPU and memory usage while scaling to thousands of pods, and paving the way for a universal API gateway supporting TCP, UDP, gRPC, QUIC/HTTP3 and advanced TLS.
