      But I just must be stupid then because I understood absolutely everything about what an API does due to his detailed explanation, except for 1 massive piece of important information, what is API!? He explained what it does like I said perfectly but not what API is!! It's just like if I explained what a tap does but never mention that I'm talking about a tap! I've actually got a gaming degree in games design via Train2Game and know a lot about computers from the inside out and literally only came here because I was already on here listening to songs and for some reason API came into my thoughts and do you know when something so simple is on the tip of your tongue but just can't remember what said thing is, well I've completely forgot what it stands for hence why I'm here now, I didn't want to post a main comment due to being so embarrassed, please tell me what an API is, not what it does, sorry for the long rambling.

    u can think of API Gateway as anything on the Server network that's going to first receive the request and does all types of processing, except handling a business use-case and eventually handing off the modified request to business/domain service.

  • @BernardoGarcia19
    @BernardoGarcia19 Před 10 měsíci

    Thanks to the bytebyteGo team for these illustrative explanations:
    I have a question. What could be the difference in using an API Gateway and using a Service Mesh approach?
    Both have similarities like traffic routing, circuit breaking to protect applications and rate limit, and both get track of the data collected to see what is going on at individual request level (so monitoring is also included in somehow). Dong both also Load Balancing is one of another way.
    That my understanding suggest me is that Service Mesh are more for network observability and securing the internal interactions betweeen services, and API gateway could be sit in a more high level perspective, by receiving Client requests and doing all that the video specify. Not sure if that is correct.
    I am wondering if a Servie Mesh can behave in somehow as an API Gateway, perhaps yes, depending on the capabilities we need to work with, but cloud providers api gateway are definitively a plus like HA across regions and seamless integrations with other services they talk to like K8s or whatever.
    Curious about hearing your thoughts about this appreciation.
    Thanks for the time spent on sharing all this valuable information. :)

    Do I need cache on my application (using Redis for example) if I'm using an API Gateway? You said that the API gateway also provides caching...

    • @patchfox
      @patchfox Před rokem +2

      Yes, you don`t need an additional cache service on the api layer with most of the existing api gateway solutions. But for other layers it could still make sense to have a cache too like webapps etc.

    To avoid single point of failure in API Gateway, as you mentioned it should be geographically deployed. But within same data center, should a load balancer be placed before API gateway? Or there should be failover API gateway as it already does load balancing?

    How is it different from Applications routing system or NGINX? Like in Rails, dJango, we can define routes and do almost all of the things described in the video.
    I think API Gateway is just managed service but deployed on multiple regions/edge locations.

      There are lots of other thing done by API gateway rather a load balancer or request router. Main purpose it to manage API lifecycle where, developer can start with API first development and share it among other developers. You can do API publishing, subscribing, deprecating, versioning APIs with an API gateway. Other than those, you can throttle, certificate validation, authentication, authorisation on API gateway.

      Actual use case differs since in RP we are just using it as a mask for our server in order to sanitise the requests or anonymizing the underlying layer of architectural server components, but in api gtwy we do need it everytime and there's theoretically no difference if you've ever worked on em
