Clients calling microservices directly leads to tight coupling, security sprawl, and complex client logic. An API gateway consolidates authentication, rate limiting, routing, and transformation at the edge — clients call one endpoint; the gateway handles the rest.
Configure and deploy an edge API gateway to route to services, enforce authentication, and apply rate limits for frontend clients.

An API gateway centralizes routing, authentication, and traffic management at the edge. You need one when clients call multiple microservices directly, causing tight coupling, security sprawl, and complex client logic.
Configure JWT-based authentication by applying per-route policies at the gateway edge. The gateway intercepts requests, validates tokens centrally, and routes traffic to backend services without requiring individual services to handle auth.
Yes, you can enforce rate limiting and CORS policies for frontend clients. The gateway applies per-route cross-cutting concerns, including request validation and edge security, across all backend services from a single entry point.
The Backend-for-Frontend pattern supports per-route health checks, monitoring, and circuit breakers. You configure one gateway per client type, such as web or mobile, to manage backend service resilience and coordinated observability.
The best way to decouple frontend apps from multiple backend services is deploying an edge gateway. It provides a single entry point for consistent security, request/response transformation, and response composition across all microservices.
Calling microservices directly leads to security sprawl because each service must independently manage authentication and routing. An edge gateway consolidates these cross-cutting concerns, centralizing security and reducing duplicated client logic.
