Impact of Microservices Architecture on API Management
summary
Microservices increase deployment and operational agility by splitting monoliths into smaller components, using containers and Kubernetes namespaces, but complexity rises so API gateways enforce external access while a service mesh (with sidecar proxy and control plane) handles internal traffic, policy routing and can do A/B splits (example 90/10). Recommendation: one centralized API management platform with decentralized ownership and possibly multiple gateways; demo ties API product plans to mesh routing and works. Gartner warns ~25% of API projects face rollback over security.
