SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill configures and manages API gateways like Kong, Tyk, AWS API Gateway, and Apigee, centralizing API management, security, and traffic control. It simplifies microservices integration, enforces policies, and improves API performance and reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gateway Selection & Setup: Guides in choosing and configuring the right API gateway for your needs.
  • Security & Access Control: Implements JWT/OAuth2 authentication, rate limiting, and CORS policies.
  • Request/Response Transformation: Configures transformations for headers, query strings, and JSON payloads.
  • Use Case: To secure and manage APIs for your microservices, use this skill to "configure an API gateway." It will help set up Kong Gateway with JWT authentication, rate limiting, and request transformation for your product catalog and shopping cart services.

Quick Start

Configure Kong Gateway for my microservices, including JWT authentication and rate limiting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an API gateway for microservices?▼

API gateway configuration centralizes routing, security, and traffic management for microservices. Use this Skill to select and deploy Kong, AWS API Gateway, Tyk, or Apigee, then implement authentication, rate limiting, request transformation, and monitoring across your services.

What's the best way to implement JWT and OAuth2 authentication on an API gateway?▼

JWT and OAuth2 authentication schemes secure API access by validating tokens at the gateway layer before requests reach your services. This Skill guides you through configuring either scheme on Kong, Tyk, AWS API Gateway, or Apigee to enforce access control.

How do I set up rate limiting and request transformation on my API gateway?▼

Rate limiting controls traffic volume to prevent abuse; request transformation modifies headers, query strings, and payloads in flight. Configure both policies declaratively or via code on your chosen gateway to enforce traffic rules and standardize API contracts.

Can I use API gateway configuration with my CI/CD pipeline?▼

Yes. This Skill supports declarative and code-based API gateway configuration integrated into CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated deployment of authentication, rate limiting, routing, and monitoring policies across environments.

Does Kong, Tyk, AWS API Gateway, or Apigee work best for my use case?▼

Each gateway suits different deployment contexts and feature requirements. This Skill guides you through platform selection criteria—including scale, authentication needs, transformation complexity, and observability—to choose the right gateway for your microservices architecture.

What API gateway features do I need for security and API management?▼

Essential features include authentication (JWT/OAuth2), rate limiting, CORS policies, request/response transformation, routing, versioning, monitoring, and developer portal integration. This Skill configures all of these across Kong, Tyk, AWS API Gateway, and Apigee.
