Platform & Infra Services
Design an API Gateway
A single entry point fronting a microservice fleet, handling routing, auth, rate limiting, and observability so individual services don't have to.
Open and Simulate this Architecture in InfraDraftCore Architectural Components
Request Routing/Reverse Proxy Layer
Directs each incoming request to the correct backend service.
Authentication/Authorization Middleware
Validates identity and permissions before a request reaches a service.
Rate Limiting & Throttling Module
Protects backend services from being overwhelmed by any single client.
Request/Response Transformation Layer
Adapts payloads between what clients send and what services expect.
Service Discovery Integration
Resolves which backend instances are currently healthy and routable.
Circuit Breaker & Retry Policy Engine
Prevents a failing downstream service from cascading failures upstream.
Centralized Logging & Metrics Middleware
Captures uniform observability data for every request that passes through.
API Versioning & Contract Management
Lets services evolve their API without breaking existing clients.
