Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - The Solution - API Gateway Patterns

The video tutorial explains the role of API Gateways as a single entry point between client applications and internal microservices. It highlights the key functions of API Gateways, such as handling cross-cutting concerns like authentication, authorization, and rate limiting. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of centralized management and routing, and introduces design considerations and patterns like gateway routing, aggregation, and offloading.
