API Gateway Implementation
Build scalable and secure API gateways to control traffic, rate-limiting, and access to backend services.
Implement API GatewayOverview
Secure, manage, and scale your APIs with GullySystem’s API Gateway solutions. We help you implement robust gateways to authenticate requests, route traffic efficiently, and ensure your backend services stay protected and performant under any load.
Benefits
Centralised API Management
Manage all APIs through a single gateway to simplify routing, monitoring, and maintenance of distributed backend services, giving you a clear overview and control.
Enhanced Security & Access Control
Enforce authentication, token validation, IP restrictions, and encryption to protect APIs from unauthorized access and misuse, safeguarding your data and systems.
Rate Limiting & Throttling
Set usage limits per app or user to prevent abuse, reduce server load, and improve overall application stability and performance, ensuring fair usage and system health.
Traffic Routing & Load Balancing
Route API requests to appropriate backend services based on rules, paths, or headers to ensure efficient resource utilisation and optimal application responsiveness.
Monitoring & Logging
Capture API performance metrics, logs, and error responses for debugging, comprehensive reporting, and ensuring strict SLA compliance, keeping you informed of API health.
Simplified DevOps
Integrate with CI/CD pipelines and automate API deployments, rollbacks, and updates across environments, speeding up development cycles and reducing manual effort.
What’s Included
API Gateway Planning
We define **gateway architecture, endpoints, routing logic, and traffic patterns** customized to your application structure, ensuring optimal performance and scalability from the start.
Gateway Platform Setup
We deploy and configure gateways using industry-leading solutions like **Kong, AWS API Gateway, NGINX, Apigee**, or custom open-source alternatives, based on your specific needs.
Authentication & Authorization Rules
We implement robust security measures including **JWT, OAuth2, API keys, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)** to manage secure access across both internal and external APIs.
Rate Limiting Policies
We set **per-user or per-app request thresholds** to prevent system overload, ensuring high availability and stable performance even under peak traffic conditions.
Request Transformation & Validation
We configure the gateway to **modify headers, sanitize payloads, and validate requests** before they reach your backend services, ensuring data consistency and security.
Monitoring & Alerting Integration
We set up powerful tools like **Prometheus, Grafana, or DataDog** to track usage, errors, and latency metrics in real-time, providing immediate insights and proactive alerts.
