| 20 | +### Vision |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Apache APISIX is an open source API gateway designed to help developers connect any APIs securely and efficiently in any environment. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Managing thousands or tens of thousands of APIs and microservices in a multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environment is not an easy task. |
| 25 | +There will be many challenges as authentication, observability, security, etc. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Apache APISIX, a community-driven project, hopes to help everyone better manage and use APIs through the power of developers. |
| 28 | +Every developer's contribution will used by thousands of companies and served by billions of users. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### Milestones |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Apache APISIX has relatively complete features for north-south traffic, |
| 33 | +and will be iterated around the following directions in the next 6 months (if you have any ideas, feel free to create issue to discuss): |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- More complete support for Gateway API on APISIX ingress controller |
| 36 | +- Add support for service mesh |
| 37 | +- User-friendly documentation |
| 38 | +- More plugins for public cloud and SaaS services |
| 39 | +- Java/Go plugins and Wasm production-ready |
| 40 | +- Add dynamic debugging tools for Apache APISIX |
