## Apache APISIX for Kubernetes

Apache APISIX is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance API gateway.

APISIX provides rich traffic management features such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication, observability, and more.

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/).

This chart bootstraps all the components needed to run Apache APISIX on a Kubernetes Cluster using [Helm](https://helm.sh).

```

## Uninstall

 To uninstall/delete a Helm release `my-apisix`:
