API gateway simplifies managing microservices spread over multiple Kubernetes clusters and clouds. API gateway is a server (or L7 proxy) between a client and microservices that acts as a centralized entry point for all clients into the system. It is a reverse proxy that accepts client API calls and forwards them to the appropriate microservice.
