Add support for Kubernetes Gateway API (HTTPRoute) in Helm Chart #61452
Description
Description
Currently, the official Apache Airflow Helm chart only supports the standard Kubernetes Ingress API. Many modern Kubernetes environments are migrating to the Kubernetes Gateway API.
I would like the Helm chart to include optional templates for Gateway API resources, specifically:
HTTPRoute: Support for routing traffic to the Webserver, Flower, and API Server.
Configuration Values: New sections in values.yaml (e.g., gateway.enabled, gateway.web.hostnames, gateway.web.parentRefs) similar to the existing ingress configuration.
The Gateway API is now GA and is becoming the standard for networking in Kubernetes 1.24+.

Hey @prakharcode !
Have you had any chance to work on this ? I recently encountered the need for HTTPRoute support and could work on a merge request if necessary.
Thanks !

In general, anyone can work on this issue, and if at the same time, we have more than one PR, we will choose the best one, so I encourage anyone to work on this. For more details, you can also check the https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/04_how_to_contribute.rst#contribute-code-changes doc, as the handling of the issues was changed not so long ago.
Just a slight note too - the Helm Chart itself is during the refurbish discussion, so there is a chance that this feature will be delayed until e.g. Helm Chart 2.0, which currently does not have a release date.

Looking at the current state, we are missing the HTTPRoute for the Webserver component for the 1.2x chart line (
chart/v1-2x-test) branch (Airflow 2.11 is supported in the 1.2x line), so if anyone would like to implement it, that would be great!aaron-y-chen commentedon Jul 24, 2026
Oh my bad, I thought the Flower HTTPRoute was the last part. Let me handle Webserver component for the 1.2x chart as well.
