What exactly is an API or an API gateway? #apimanagement #apigateway

To avoid having to constantly retrieve data yourself, an API works as an intermediary between an application and its backend services. It allows either side to make changes, without impacting the other, shielding you from the complexity of those systems. To secure the flow of all this data, companies will add an API gateway, which helps manage and direct data traffic smoothly. The API gateway ensures everything on your app runs efficiently and securely. Like a traffic cop, it polices the API access and manages the data traffic for you, allowing you to spend more time building your app. #apisecurity #data #datasecurity
