API Gateway: critical component of your digital architecture
summary
Explains why an API gateway becomes the single enforcement point for auth and authz, traffic control and aggregation, with concrete behaviors: 200 requests per second example for rate limits, throttling that queues excess to the next second, and service prioritization by source (mobile vs internal or premium partners). Describes an aggregator that calls profile and account services and normalizes XML/RPC into JSON, and stacks security as DDoS + CDN + WAF with bot mitigation. Recommends gateway plus developer portal and monitoring for API management.
