What is an API gateway?
An API gateway is the central access point for your APIs. Below you can read what it handles and why it makes your connections more secure.
An API gateway is a central access point for your APIs. It handles authentication, limits the number of requests (rate limiting), logs traffic and routes requests to the right system. This keeps connections secure and manageable.
One gate for all your APIs
An API gateway stands at the front and handles all incoming API requests before they reach your systems. It checks authentication, limits the number of requests per sender (rate limiting), logs the traffic and routes each request to the right underlying system.
This way you do not have to arrange security and management in each system separately, but in one central place. That makes your connections more secure and clearer.
In the integration layer
An API gateway belongs to a mature integration approach, alongside middleware and monitoring. In larger landscapes we deploy it to keep a grip on who may request what, and to prevent abuse and overload.
How we help you with this.
From concept to a working solution. This is what connects to it.
