SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

API teams often struggle to design, secure, and operate interconnected services across multiple gateways, ensuring consistent governance, scalable access, and thorough documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gateway configuration and policy orchestration across Kong, AWS API Gateway, and custom proxies.
  • Rate limiting, authentication, authorization, and input validation to secure APIs and control traffic.
  • Versioning strategies and OpenAPI-driven documentation to enable safe evolution and discoverability.
  • Use Case: Centralize API governance for multi-cloud environments and publish a single, versioned API catalog.

Quick Start

Configure a basic API gateway for a sample service and apply a 100 requests-per-minute rate limit using Kong declarative config.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure rate limiting in Kong for API gateway traffic control?

To configure rate limiting in Kong, you apply declarative configuration policies that cap requests per minute, ensuring scalable access control and consistent API governance across services.

What is the best way to manage API versioning and generate OpenAPI documentation?

Managing API versioning and generating OpenAPI documentation requires adopting an OpenAPI-driven design strategy that enables safe API evolution, thorough documentation, and discoverability across multi-provider environments.

Does API management work with both Kong and AWS API Gateway?

Yes, this approach applies to multi-provider environments, supporting gateway configuration, policy orchestration, and security controls across both Kong and AWS API Gateway.

How do I implement JWT validation and security controls for API gateway policies?

Implementing JWT validation and security controls involves defining authentication, authorization, and input validation middleware that secures APIs and controls traffic across configured gateway policies.

How do I centralize API governance for multi-cloud environments?

Centralizing API governance for multi-cloud environments involves unifying gateway configurations, applying consistent security policies, and publishing a single versioned API catalog for interconnected services.

What is included in an API gateway architecture diagram and policy definition?

An API gateway architecture diagram and policy definition includes gateway configuration, security controls, validation middleware, and observability components to ensure consistent API design across interconnected services.
