Documentation

Meerkat is an authentication proxy and API gateway: one door in front of your internal applications, which takes care of authentication, access rules, routing and observation, so your services do not have to.

Where to start

• What Meerkat does - every capability, what it takes without Meerkat, and what comes next.
• What Meerkat is - what the product does, in two minutes.
• Quick start - a gateway running and a first application behind it.
• Concepts - the three planes, routes, identity, access.

Reference

• Predicates - the eleven ways a route decides a request is for it.
• Filters - the thirty-four ways it transforms one.
• The console - every screen, and what it is for.

Looking after it

• Operations - traffic, audit, backups, upgrades.
• Deploying - Docker, Helm, and what each variable decides.
• Kubernetes cluster - several gateways behind one entry point.
