The Consul API Gateway has reached its first general availability release, introducing TCPRoute support, Helm chart support, and a new HashiCorp Learn tutorial to help users get started. The gateway can now manage route destinations and protocol connections between mesh services and external clients, with added TLS settings per listener for improved security controls. Additionally, the Consul API Gateway supports Helm chart installation and configuration, allowing users to easily deploy and manage the solution. A new HashiCorp Learn tutorial is available to guide users through deploying microservices using Consul API Gateway as an ingress point and leveraging it as a load balancer.
