Going to jump on the shilling thread here and recommend Tyk.

Tyk is an open source API Gateway written in Go, it's also the most extensible OSS API gateway as it doesn't force you to learn Lua (Go, Python and Lua plugins are supported in-process) to extend it. In fact DO could have written their auth logic in rails with Tyk's gRPC plugin support.

It also has the same performance curve as OpenResty these days as it's been around for over 5 years and used in critical high-performance infrastructure projects.

Any data for this claim?

From customers that have performance tested us against Kong and NGinX during competitive tender (where we also won the business). Unfortunately those aren't public.

There's a decent blog post my head of research did a while ago:
