API Gateway
Control, Secure, Optimize: All in One Place
Authentication & Authorization
Authenticating the identity of API consumers and authorizing to access services based on roles or permissions.
Rate Limiting
Control the number of API calls an entity can make within a given timeframe, preventing abuse and ensuring fair usage.
Load Balancing
Distribute incoming API requests across multiple servers, ensuring high availability and reliability.
Analytics and Monitoring
Come with native analytics dashboards and monitoring tools that help you keep track of API usage, error rates, and overall performance.
Why Use an API Gateway?
So why should you consider implementing an API Gateway? Here are some compelling reasons:
Centralized Management
Having an API Gateway enables centralized control over multiple APIs. This means you can manage all your API configurations, policies, and analytics from a single dashboard.
Scalability
As your application grows, so will the number of API calls and services. An API Gateway is designed to handle this growth gracefully.
Security
API Gateways often offer advanced security features like OAuth, JWT, API keys, and SSL termination at a single point, making it easier to secure your APIs.
