- Grab Tech Talk Takeaways
Notes from a Grab tech talk on building an API gateway, covering technology choices, design, performance, maintenance and safe upgrades.
- Gateway Aggregation Pattern
Explains using a gateway to combine multiple client requests into one, cutting chattiness and latency between clients and backend services.
- Gateway Offloading Pattern
Explains offloading shared cross-cutting functions such as SSL termination, authentication, and throttling to a gateway proxy so individual services stay simpler.
- Gateway Routing Pattern
Explains routing requests to multiple services or service versions through a single layer-7 gateway endpoint, enabling backend abstraction and zero-downtime deployments.
