API Gateways - CSV
API gateways are servers positioned between clients and backend services that receive API requests, enforce throttling and security policies, pass requests to backend services, and return responses. They provide features such as authentication, authorization, caching, analytics collection, transformation, and rate limiting, playing a crucial role in microservices architectures and cloud-native environments. Various solutions exist ranging from open-source to enterprise products including Kong, NGINX, Apigee, AWS API Gateway, and Azure API Management.
