Hi everyone,

I am currently evaluating the benefit of using the self-hosted API gateway with our APIs hosted in AKS.

One thing I am wondering is if there is a benefit in terms of network latency compared to using a managed API gateway, especially if it is hosted in the same VNet as the cluster?

We are thinking of having service-to-service communication go through the API gateway (and not only calls from external clients), so it might be beneficial to use the self-hosted gateway so the calls don’t leave the cluster. But maybe there is actually no real benefit if they the managed gateway is deployed to the same VNet!?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
