API Gateway

Introduction

An API gateway is an intermediate layer between the client and the server that acts as a reverse proxy and routes client requests to individual services. Catalyst provides API Gateway as an advanced API management tool that enables you to create, maintain, and monitor HTTP requests generated from client applications and microservices.
