What is an API gateway?

Oct 1, 2025

An API Gateway is the professional digital bouncer at the door of your company's digital services. It creates a single entry point to improve security and organization, inspecting every request and routing it to the microservice it needs to reach.

It checks IDs (authentication), directs traffic (routing), and provides crowd control (rate limiting) to make sure everything runs smoothly.
