Course Wrap-up

Grokking Microservices Design Patterns

Imagine for a moment you’re ordering a burger at a fast-food restaurant. You go to the counter, place your order, pay for it, and then wait for your burger. Here, the counter where you place your order is like an API Gateway in microservices. It’s the single point where you, as a customer, interact with the restaurant's services (kitchen, billing, etc.).

**What is API Gateway Pattern?**
In microservice architecture, you have lots of different services doing their own thing. The API Gateway Pattern is about having a single entry point for external consumers to access these various services
