API Gateway System Documentation

Welcome to the technical documentation for the API Gateway Management System.

System Architecture

The system follows a classic Control Plane / Data Plane architecture:

  • Control Plane (Management): Users interact with the UI, which calls the Management API.
  • Data Plane (Runtime): The Reverse Proxy reads the configuration from the database (with aggressive caching) to route incoming request to upstream services.
