What problem does it solve?
Microservices architectures often struggle with consistent routing, authentication, traffic management, and data composition, leading to increased complexity and potential security vulnerabilities. This skill provides expert guidance to implement robust API gateways that centralize these cross-cutting concerns, ensuring scalability and resilience.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gateway Routing: Implement path, header, or host-based routing for dynamic traffic management.
- Authentication & Authorization: Centralize JWT validation, OAuth 2.0, API key management, and RBAC policies.
- Traffic Management: Apply rate limiting, circuit breakers, and retry logic to enhance service resilience.
- Use Case: Design a Backend for Frontend (BFF) layer for a mobile application, aggregating data from multiple microservices and applying mobile-specific transformations and authentication at the gateway.
Quick Start
Design an API Gateway for a new microservices project. Focus on routing /users to the user service and /orders to the order service, and implement JWT validation for all authenticated requests.
