  2. Kong is the world’s most popular open-source API management gateway—built for hybrid and multi-cloud, optimized for microservices and distributed architectures.
    With all that said, K8s is not really meant to function as an API gateway to arbitrary services. You should look into API gateways such as NGINX, Kong or others, service meshes as others have already pointed out, or have a look at the K8s Gateway API the SIG is currently working on. The last one is in the early stages of adoption, but it could provide you with a nice way to do an API Gateway right in K8s.
