A hitchhiker's guide to cloud native API gateways
Mario-Leander Reimer guides you through cloud native API gateways. Good APIs are the centerpiece of any successful digital product, with proper management of the utmost importance. The API gateway pattern is well established to handle concerns like routing, versioning, rate limiting, access control, or diagnosability in a microservice architecture.

Good APIs are the centerpiece of any successful digital product. But for complex systems with many API consumers, the proper management of these APIs is of utmost importance. The API gateway pattern is well established to handle concerns like routing, versioning, rate limiting, access control, or diagnosability in a cloud native application architecture. Mario-Leander Reimer guides you to cloud native API gateways. You’ll take a closer look at the cloud native API gateway ecosystem: Ambassador, Gloo, Tyc, KrakenD, etc., and find out which one of these is right for your next project. Leander explains the API gateway pattern with its possible usage scenarios and defines a criteria catalog with essential characteristics in order to compare the current ecosystem. And he puts some of them to the test and demonstrates their usage live and uncut.
