SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detailed implementation patterns for the Incident Management AI API Gateway address the challenge of securing and orchestrating traffic to multiple services, ensuring consistent JWT validation, JWKS rotation, route-based access control, and reliable upstream proxying.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • JWT verification and JWKS rotation
  • Role and scope mapping to downstream services
  • Request proxying to upstream services with consistent headers
  • Per-user rate limiting and observability
  • Standardized error handling and health checks
  • Use case: when adding or upgrading api-gateway for new upstream services, apply the centralized patterns for security and routing.

Quick Start

Implement the gateway following this pattern and wire it to your identity and upstream services to enable JWT verification, role-based routing, and request proxying.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement JWT verification and JWKS rotation in an API gateway?

API gateway JWT verification standardizes token validation and automates JWKS rotation to secure traffic, ensuring consistent authentication across multiple upstream services without manual key updates.

What is the best way to handle role and scope mapping for downstream services?

Role and scope mapping translates verified JWT claims into downstream service permissions, applying route-based access control to ensure only authorized requests reach your upstream integrations.

How do I set up secure route proxying to upstream services?

Secure route proxying forwards requests to upstream services with consistent headers, applying predefined route definitions and centralized access control for reliable integration orchestration.

Can I apply per-user rate limiting and observability to my API gateway?

Yes, you can apply per-user rate limiting and observability to your API gateway to control traffic flow and monitor upstream integration behavior through standardized health checks.

How do I standardize error handling and health checks across multiple gateway routes?

Standardized error handling and health checks apply deterministic implementation requirements across predefined route definitions, ensuring consistent operational behavior and clear deployment testing guidance.

When should I upgrade my API gateway architecture for new upstream services?

You should upgrade your API gateway architecture when adding new upstream services, applying centralized patterns for security, routing, and JWT validation to maintain consistent traffic orchestration.
