CoatRack is an API gateway management framework that supports:
- Monitoring APIs calls
- Authentication/Authorization of API calls
- Monetization of APIs
CoatRack consists of:
- Distributed, lightweight API gateways
- A centralized web application to generate and manage the API gateways.
The following figure shows a typical architecture. The calls to a software service API are routed and logged by a custom CoatRack Gateway, which can be install in the service provider's local network. Configuration and statistics are accessible via the CoatRack website.
