## Summary

Google Cloud announces that streaming support in API Gateway is available in Public Preview, letting SSE, WebSocket, chunked, and gRPC streaming endpoints sit behind the same gateway policies. Streams can stay open for up to one hour, and the feature is enabled with a --enable-streaming flag when a new gateway is created.

## Why it matters

The source explains how streaming works behind the same API spec and auth policies, which matters for teams serving model output through a gateway.
