An API gateway is a server that acts as a single entry point for client requests to backend microservices, handling tasks like routing, authentication, rate limiting, and request/response transformation. Products such as AWS API Gateway, Kong, and Apigee are commonly used by backend and DevOps engineers to secure and manage APIs at scale. It simplifies client interactions by centralizing cross-cutting concerns that would otherwise be duplicated across services.
