API Gateway

A feature-rich API Gateway built with Express and Node.js, designed to handle various aspects of microservices architectures. This gateway includes inbuilt authentication, proxy routing, rate limiting, logging, and monitoring.

Features

• Inbuilt Authentication: Secure your APIs with a built-in authentication system. Easily manage and authenticate users within the gateway.

• Proxy Routing: Route requests to different microservices or external APIs based on configurable rules.

• Rate Limiting: Protect your APIs from abuse by implementing rate limiting. Control the number of requests a client can make within a specified time frame.

• Logging: Comprehensive logging of requests and responses for debugging and auditing purposes.

• Monitoring: Monitor the health and performance of your API Gateway with built-in tools.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed

• Firebase service account keys: Place your Firebase service account keys in the secrets/firebase.json file.
