Approach : Use an API Gateway


Working with a microservices API gateway can greatly reduce coding efforts, make your applications far more efficient, and decrease errors all at that same time. An advantage of using microservices is that you don’t have to interact with a huge code base. Microservices are small and flexible. You can choose precisely which bits of code you want to interact with and from where those bits come. It’s possible to mix and match bits of code as needed. However, the small nature of microservices can also be a problem because those little bits of code end up coming from all sorts of sources—each of which can have its own set of rules.

Trying to keep track of all those microservices, and knowing when and how to use each of them can cause even the most fastidious developer headaches and worry. The need to track microservices and make them easier to use is one reason to use an API gateway. Using an API gateway makes your collection of microservices look like a custom API—one especially developed to meet your application’s specific needs. From the front it looks like an API, but from the back it uses individual microservices to perform tasks—you get the best of both worlds. This article provides you with the keys for using an API gateway and helps you gain a significant advantage over your competition, which is likely still floundering in a sea of microservices. You can read more here about How to Create a Microservices Setup, but this article can be read first.
