APIgatewayta
APIgatewayta is a fictional open-source API gateway framework introduced for illustrative purposes. It is designed to manage, secure, and observe traffic between client applications and backend services in microservice environments.
Core features include reverse-proxy routing, load balancing, rate limiting, authentication and authorization, API key and OAuth
Architecture is designed for stateless operation as a reverse proxy that can be deployed at the edge
Security features include TLS termination, mutual TLS (mTLS) between gateway and services, JWT validation, OAuth 2.0/OpenID
Deployment patterns typically include edge API gateways for public APIs and internal gateways for microservice communication.
Because APIgatewayta is a hypothetical concept, comparisons with real gateways are used in educational contexts to
