API Gateways sit at the center of modern API infrastructure. They secure access, control traffic, manage transformations, and bridge legacy systems with new architectures. Whether you're building microservices, exposing APIs to partners, or modernizing a monolith, the API Gateway is where everything comes together.

This book is your practical guide to designing, configuring, and operating API Gateways effectively. It covers key concepts like security, traffic control, OpenAPI validation, and deployment patterns, and offers real-world examples using the open source Membrane API Gateway.

The content is vendor-neutral at its core, making it valuable no matter which API Gateway technology you use. From JWT validation to orchestration with lightweight scripting, you’ll learn how to build secure, maintainable, and scalable API infrastructure.
