API Gateway

An API Gateway is a server that acts as a single entry point for defined back-end APIs. It handles request routing, composition, and protocol translation.

Key Concepts

  • Request routing
  • Rate limiting
  • Authentication/authorization
  • Request/response transformation
  • Circuit breaking

Common Use Cases

  • Microservices entry point
  • API versioning
  • Rate limiting by client
  • Request aggregation
  • Protocol translation

Best Practices

  • Implement proper rate limiting
  • Use authentication at gateway
  • Handle errors gracefully
  • Monitor and log requests
  • Consider caching
