This article outlines the core functional and non‑functional requirements of an API gateway—including routing, load balancing, service aggregation, authentication, overload protection, caching, retry, logging, and management—to ensure high performance, availability, and scalability in microservice architectures.
This article analyzes the architecture of capability open platforms, explains how they evolve into capability middle platforms that aggregate and manage API services, and explores their role in building open, collaborative ecosystems across e‑commerce, travel, and service domains.
This article explains the role of API gateways in microservice systems, discusses challenges of aggregating data across services, compares single‑node and BFF gateway patterns, evaluates open‑source gateway projects, and proposes a double‑gateway solution for high‑performance, scalable backend integration.
This article examines the role of API gateways in microservice architectures, discusses challenges of aggregating fine‑grained services for UI needs, compares single‑node and BFF gateway patterns, reviews popular open‑source gateway projects, and proposes a dual‑gateway implementation using OpenResty and Ocelot with CAP for distributed transactions.
