Welcome to the API Gateway Developer Guide! This documentation provides essential information for configuring, managing, and optimizing API Gateway services.
📘 Introduction
The API Gateway acts as a central entry point for managing API requests, enabling features like authentication, rate limiting, and traffic routing.
🔧 Key Concepts
- Routing Rules: Define how incoming requests are directed to backend services.
- Authentication: Implement security protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API keys).
- Rate Limiting: Control the number of requests per user or IP address.
- Caching: Improve performance by storing frequent responses.
📁 Configuration Steps
- Access the API Gateway dashboard at /Community/Forums/APIMAN/Documentation/en/ApiGateway/Overview
- Set up routing policies using the Routing Configuration Tool.
- Enable logging and monitoring through the Analytics Dashboard.
🛠 Best Practices
- Use Swagger for API definition and testing.
- Regularly update security policies to address vulnerabilities.
- Leverage CI/CD Pipelines for automated deployments.
