API Gateway on MyGov is an open source solution that is fast, scalable and modern. It is an implementation of gateway that sits in front of APIs and acts as a single point of entry for a defined group of micro-services or APIs. In addition to accommodating direct requests, it is also being used to invoke multiple back-end services and aggregate results. Gateway performs the Authentication, Security, Traffic Control, Caching, Logging, Analytics, Monitoring and much more. It can run completely independently, requiring only MongoDB and Redis to be effective, and it can scale horizontally.
