API Gateway

Design an API gateway that serves as the single entry point for a microservices architecture, handling routing, auth, and cross-cutting concerns.

These requirements and scale numbers are for reference. The AI reviewer will evaluate your design based on the functional requirements and assumptions you define.

🎯 Key Requirements

  • Route incoming requests to the correct backend service
  • Authenticate and authorize callers (API key / JWT)
  • Apply rate limiting and basic request/response transformation

📐 Scale Expectations

  • ~5K requests per second across all routes
  • 20–50 backend services behind the gateway
  • Adds under 10ms latency per request
