Descriptions
API Gateway provides comprehensive API management, including configuration, release, environmental management, privilege management, access control, on-line debugging, historical version management, document generation, and on-line sales. When using the API Gateway to manage APIs, the developer only needs to pay attention to the business logic of the API interface. Thus, it can achieve convenient, efficient, secure, and low-cost management services and provide data or capabilities to developers and partners.
Features
Multiple-protocol Support
It supports HTTP, HTTPS, Websocket and other protocols, and the backend supports ordinary instances and the computation of Baidu cloud functions.
Request Mapping
It requests parameter validation, mapping and forwarding of Path, Query, Header and Body location, and provides optional system parameters.
Access Control
It includes gateway privilege management, request signature and authentication, multi-dimensional traffic control, and incoming-IP-based access restriction.
API Management
It includes environmental management, hierarchical release, on-line debugging, historical version switching, document generation, cloud market sales.
Advantages
Multiple Features
They include multi-protocol support, signature and authentication, privilege management, traffic control, IP access control, on-line debugging, function computing access, service load balance, API documentation and SDK generation, and other features.
Global Gateway
When users open APIs, they don't need to pay attention to the gateway region, which can be directly configured, and is easy to understand, configure and call. Meanwhile, it is compatible with all regional scenarios.
Proximity Access
API requests are intelligently resolved to the nearest API gateway cluster in terms of source operator and region. During gateway forwarding, the nearest backend forwarding is selected to reduce the request delay.
Load Balance
The backend can be configured with multiple addresses, and multiple backends can be polled according to the weight to improve the backend processing capacity; when any backend fails, the gateway can be recovered from any disaster according to a certain scheduling scheme.
