API Gateway
An API gateway is a centralized runtime component that accepts client requests, authenticates, authorizes, routes and optionally transforms them. It abstracts backend services, consolidates interfaces, and provides rate limiting, monitoring and protocol translation. Gateways are key in distributed architectures and influence performance, resilience and operational costs.
