Gateway API is the future of Kubernetes networking, replacing the chaos of Ingress annotations with a structured approach. Instead of boring slides, this talk is structured as a Wizard Zine -- a visual guide you can take home.

We will cover the Gateway API from two perspectives:

1. User View: Understanding the GatewayClass -> Gateway -> Route hierarchy and how role separation between admins and developers saves sanity.

2. Developer View: A look under the hood of a controller. I will show what happens inside: from watching CRDs to generating data plane rules, and why resource status is critical.

You will leave with deep technical knowledge and a digital cheat sheet (zine) that makes mastering the Gateway API an engaging journey.

Keep your mind open, and keep the gateway open!
