API Gateway

Why use an API gateway?

• It can be used to route requests to different backends, such as a load balancer, or route requests to different services based on the request headers.
• It can be used to perform authentication, authorization, and rate-limiting.
• It can protect the API from malicious attack vectors such as SQL injections, DDOS attacks, and XSS.
• It decreases the complexity of the API and microservices.
