frontend-deploy

To deploy a frontend app with Gateway API and Envoy Gateway, you create a Kubernetes Deployment, Service, Gateway, and HTTPRoute, then configure TLS secrets and SPA routing for secure traffic across staging and production environments.

Configuring TLS and HTTPS for a frontend on Kubernetes is handled by applying TLS secrets alongside Gateway API and HTTPRoute resources. This routes custom domains and secures web apps behind Envoy Gateway without relying on ingress-nginx.

Yes, you can use Gateway API instead of ingress-nginx for SPA routing. The approach enforces Gateway API and HTTPRoute resources to manage traffic for single-page applications, handling routing rules for React, Vue, or Angular sites directly.

You manage staging and production environments for a frontend deployment by configuring environment-specific hostnames within your HTTPRoute and Gateway resources. This multi-environment workflow secures distinct domains using TLS secrets and Envoy Gateway routing.

Yes, you need Envoy Gateway setup to use HTTPRoute for your frontend. The deployment requires a Gateway Class and Gateway resources to function, enforcing Envoy Gateway to handle TLS configuration and route traffic to your Service.

Your SPA returns 404 errors on refresh when Gateway API routing lacks SPA-friendly configuration. Properly configuring HTTPRoute resources with SPA routing rules ensures all paths redirect to the frontend index, preventing missing route errors.
