Observe your API with API Gateway Plugins
summary
Demonstrates using Apache APISIX as the observability hub by wiring real plugins to an ASP.NET Core backend running in Docker Compose: HTTP logger sends request JSON to mockbin, Prometheus exposes /apisix/prometheus/metrics for Grafana, and Zipkin plugin reports traces visible in Zipkin UI. Shows creating upstreams and routes via APISIX admin API, enabling multiple plugins together, and confirms logs, metrics and traces are collected end-to-end. Also notes custom plugins can be written in Java, Go, Python or JavaScript.
