Description: API gateway management refers to the comprehensive administration of application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable communication between different services and applications. This includes configuration, monitoring, and security of APIs, ensuring they operate efficiently and securely. An API Gateway acts as an intermediary between clients and backend services, facilitating the management of requests and responses. Key features include user authentication and authorization, request routing, rate limiting, and data transformation. Additionally, it provides monitoring tools that allow developers and administrators to observe API performance, identify bottlenecks, and ensure service availability. The relevance of API gateway management has grown in the cloud computing era, where applications are becoming increasingly distributed and based on microservices architecture. This allows organizations to scale their services efficiently and maintain centralized control over interactions between different systems, thereby improving security and user experience.
