Posted on December 20, 2023, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
The API gateway component in a cloud native architecture is critical because it offloads critical API security and policy functionality to a common place, allowing the backend APIs and services to focus on business logic. API authentication, authorization, audit, throttling and similar tasks can be complex and difficult to get right, so many organizations choose an API gateway to handle them.
