API Gateway
The API Gateway acts as a protective layer for your APIs, offering essential functions such as authentication, routing, and traffic management.
Key Functions
Authentication and Authorization
- Provides various authentication plugins such as Key Auth, JWT, OAuth2, etc.
- Ensures that only authorized clients can access the API services.
Traffic Control
- Supports features like circuit breakers and request retries to enhance system fault tolerance.
- Dynamically adjusts traffic to prevent service overload and ensure optimal performance.
Monitoring and Analytics
- Integrates with various logging and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, etc.
- Provides detailed statistics on requests and responses to help optimize API performance.
Transformation and Proxying
- Modifies the content of requests and responses, such as adding or removing headers, transforming request bodies, etc.
- Supports both forward proxying and reverse proxying.
Plugin Mechanism
- Offers a rich plugin system that allows users to extend functionality by enabling and configuring plugins, such as logging, monitoring, caching, data transformation, etc.
