Master API Gateways: Boost Your Microservices Strategy
summary
Argues that API Gateways cut legacy-monolith complexity and speed microservice adoption by providing routing and aggregation and built‑in features like auth, caching, circuit breakers, rate limiting and load balancing. Shows a concrete legacy‑modernization pattern comparing one versus multiple gateways and warns a single gateway can become a monolithic orchestrator. Implements the pattern with Azure API Management as a hybrid, multi‑cloud demo and points to books and code for reproducible examples.
