Microservices are being proclaimed as a groundbreaking architectural style for producing and sustaining business and IT applications and platforms. Cloud environments are filled up with bare metal servers, virtual machines, and containers. Microservices can be hosted on these and run to extract and supply their unique functionalities. As the number of microservices is growing rapidly, we need technology-sponsored and complexity mitigation solutions and services. API gateway solutions are being presented as the viable and venerable infrastructure (software or hardware) solutions for that bring a kind of abstraction to reduce dependency-induced problems. This chapter detailed the various features of API gateway solutions and how they come in handy for resolving various microservice-specific issues. The key gateway solutions (open source and commercial grade) and their unique...

Overview of this book
This book deals with the Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm, which is an architectural style that allows networked devices to communicate with each other over the internet. With the help of this book, you’ll explore the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA), event-driven architecture (EDA), and resource-oriented architecture (ROA). This book covers why there is an insistence for high-quality APIs toward enterprise integration.
It also covers how to optimize and explore endpoints for microservices with API gateways and touches upon integrated platforms and Hubs for RESTful APIs. You’ll also understand how application delivery and deployments can be simplified and streamlined in the REST world. The book will help you dig deeper into the distinct contributions of RESTful services for IoT analytics and applications.
Besides detailing the API design and development aspects, this book will assist you in designing and developing production-ready, testable, sustainable, and enterprise-grade APIs. By the end of the book, you’ll be empowered with all that you need to create highly flexible APIs for next-generation RESTful services and applications.
