What is an API Gateway and Why is it Useful?
An API gateway is a fully managed service that simplifies the process of creating, publishing, maintaining, monitoring, and securing APIs. It acts as a middleman between clients and backend services, handling request validation, authorization, rate limiting, request routing, and request/response transformation. It is particularly useful in microservice architectures.
