# Create Gateway

IMESH API Gateway offers **API Configuration** to create and manage APIs for your Kubernetes applications. You can create Gateways to receive incoming traffic at a specific port and Routes to redirect the traffic to a back-end application. 

The video below provides an overview.

1. IMESH API Gateway allows DevOps to create, edit, and delete Gateway resources from the application itself. To create a Gateway, you only need to click **Add New Gateway** and complete the form.&#x20;

2. Gateway creation has two parts: **General Info** and **Listener**. At first, a DevOps engineer must fill in the general info about creating a Gateway resource, such as the namespace, selecting a Gateway class, etc.&#x20;

3. The Listener section will seek information about the traffic, such as the IP protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP, etc.), Port, and TLS mode.&#x20;

4. Once you create a listener, you can deploy the Gateway resource.&#x20;

5. Your Gateway has already been created and is visible in the Gateway portal. And it will provide a public address to receive the traffic. Now, developers can use this Gateway and listener to create Routes for their applications.&#x20;
