Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - API Gateways Microservices Code Review - E-Commerce App

The video tutorial covers the implementation and configuration of API gateways in an ecommerce application. It focuses on two main components: the Ocelot API Gateway and the aggregator microservices. The Ocelot API Gateway is configured using JSON files to reroute client requests to appropriate microservices. The aggregator microservices collect data from various internal services and aggregate them into a single response for the client, implementing the service aggregation pattern. The tutorial also discusses the use of Docker for containerization.

What is the primary role of an API gateway in an ecommerce application?

• To provide a user interface for customers

• To reroute requests and manage traffic

• To store user data securely

• To handle payment transactions

Which library is used in the Ocelot API gateway for rerouting traffic?

• Spring Boot

• Express.js

• Ocelot library in .NET

• Flask

What does the upstream configuration in the Ocelot API gateway signify?

• Encrypting data

• Logging API requests

• Storing configuration data

• Exposing APIs to client applications

What is the main advantage of using aggregator microservices?

• Reducing the number of requests a client makes to backend services

• Increasing the number of microservices

• Improving the user interface

• Enhancing security protocols

In the context of aggregator microservices, what is the service aggregation pattern used for?

• To handle payment processing

• To manage user sessions

• To aggregate data from multiple services into one response

• To encrypt data

Which services are involved in the shopping aggregator microservices?

• Authentication, Logging, and Monitoring services

• Inventory, Billing, and Notification services

• User, Payment, and Shipping services

• Catalog, Basket, and Order services

How is data aggregated in the shopping aggregator microservices?

• Using a database query

• Via a cloud service
