SESSION + Live Q&A
Deployment Patterns for API Gateways
APIs are changing the way we build applications and changing the way we expose data, both inside and outside our organizations. But what is the most efficient and effective way to deliver these APIs? That’s the job of the API gateway. In this session, we will look at different deployment patterns for API gateways, including:
- The centralized, edge gateway
- The multi-layer gateway
- Microgateways, sidecars and service mesh
We discuss how the implementation and consumption of your API can (and should) influence the selection of the most appropriate API gateway pattern when it comes to production deployment.
NGINX is the world’s number one API gateway, delivering the vast majority of today’s API traffic. Learn from our experience in this space, and how to ensure that your API management platform provides the optimum deployment pattern for your APIs.
Takeaways
Attendees will leave the session, knowing:
- The different API gateway deployment patterns and their relative merits
- How differences between API traffic and regular web traffic influences application and API delivery infrastructure
- How software architecture decisions affect API delivery infrastructure

Traces Are the Fuel: Making Distributed Tracing Valuable
Within our industry, it's now common knowledge that any sane microservices strategy must also account for some form of distributed tracing. However, while basic distributed traces are a good start, they are not enough to deliver true confidence about the behavior of modern production systems. In...

Lost in Transaction? Consistency in Distributed Systems
You probably work on a distributed system. Even if you don't yet face a serverless microservice architecture using fancy NoSQL databases, you might simply call some remote services via REST or SOAP. This leaves you in charge of dealing with consistency yourself. ACID transactions are only...
