    The Cloud-Native API Gateway

  • 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.
