Software developers have been looking at different ways of building software and different architectural patterns have emerged. In this sort of revolution, Microservices and APIs have increasingly assumed greater importance as both a technology and a design pattern. While improving certain aspects of monolithic software, microservices also add additional complexity that has inspired the creation of new design patterns, one of them being the usage of API Gateways. This talk from nginx.conf 2016 highlights the challenges of microservice-oriented architectures, exploring the role of API Gateways and illustrating real-world use cases of their application.
