We have discussed API gateway solutions extensively in relation to the success of the MSA paradigm. We all know that in order to increase the resiliency of microservices, the service mesh solutions are being pampered. And in this section, we are to discuss the key differences between API gateways and service meshes.
Firstly, the API gateway, as explained in the preceding section, the key objective of using an API gateway is to express and expose microservices to the outside world. With the attachment of API management modules, APIs are managed well. API data is captured and subjected to a variety of investigations to produce insights to steer API gateways in the right direction:
- API services call the downstream microservices that can be atomic and composite. The noteworthy capability of API gateways is to fuse multiple downstream services into...
