What is meant by API gateway?

When you divide a big monolithic application into small functional parts that works independently from each other, you need a wrapper around them some sort of Facade such that they behave as a single application to the client. That wrapper is known as API Gateway. Its a one stop shop for the client, anything client wants API Gateway will get it for him. It has many other functionalities.

API will have to first pass through the API Gateway. The API Gateway routes the incoming request to different message processor accordingly.

When creating an API, a developer defines its name, an HTTP function, how the API integrates with services and how requests and transfers are handled. ... Amazon API Gateway provides two means of handling API call traffic. API throttling is available to limit the number of API calls per hour or per day.

Completely agreed..!!

API Gateway can be considered a backplane in the cloud to connect AWS Services and other public or private web sites. it provides consistent RESTful Application Programming interfaces(APIs) for mobile and web application to access AWS Services...

The API Gateway will often handle a request by invoking multiple microservices and aggregating the results. It can translate between web protocols such as HTTP and WebSocket and web‑unfriendly protocols that are used internally.J

Thank u for the use ful info

API will have to first pass through the API Entrance. The API Entrance tracks the inbound demand to different concept processor accordingly.

Amazon API Gateway is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) service offering that allows a developer to connect non-AWS applications to AWS back-end resources, such as servers or code. Amazon API Gateway allows an AWS customer to increase the overall utility of Amazon’s other cloud services.

An application programming interface (API) is a set of protocols, routines, functions and/or commands that programmers use to develop software or facilitate interaction between distinct systems. APIs are available for both desktop and mobile use and are typically used for programming GUI (graphic user interface) components, as well as allowing a software program to request and accommodate services from another program.

API gateway is a piece of software running on or near the periphery of the network hosting your system services and API (micro)services which will provide some or all of the following security and management features:
API creation (sometimes even offering visual editors)
API management (API lifecycle - draft, publish, upgrade etc)
Portal features (allowing users to discover and use your APIs)
Security

Thanks For Your advice.

An application program interface (API) allows two or more software programs to communicate with each other to achieve greater functionality for a product. An AWSuser creates, manages and maintains APIs within Amazon API Gateway, which accepts and processes concurrent API calls.

The API gateway handles requests in one of two ways. Some requests are simply proxied/routed to the appropriate service.

An API gateway is programming that sits in front of an API (Application Programming Interface) and is the single-entry point for defined back-end APIs and microservices (which can be both internal and external).
