Apache APISIX is a cloud-native microservices API gateway, that delivers the ultimate performance, security, open-source and scalable platform for all your This text is a bit blunt, does it need to be interspersed with context? and microservices. Nginx and etcd are the foundations of Apache APISIX. Compared to your conventional API gateways, Apache APISIX provides traffic management features like Load Balancing, Dynamic Upstream, Canary Release, Circuit Breaking, Authentication, and Observability.
After the monolithic era, most big monolithic applications were divided into independent subsets called microservices. These microservices were scalable, secure and agile. However, managing the communication between these multiple microservices became tricky. Clients had to keep track of each microservice and its address, which became complex. This brought about the demand for a mid-layer service like API gateways(eg. APISIX); that provides authenticating, monitoring, load balancing, caching, request shaping, and managing client and microservices interaction.
