# API gateways specialists for your dedicated team.

An API gateway sits in front of backend services and handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, request transformation and observability, so those concerns are implemented once.

## Where API gateways fits in a long-term product team.

Centralising cross-cutting concerns is the point. Authentication, rate limiting and logging implemented once at the edge are consistent by construction, where the same concerns implemented per service are consistent only until someone is in a hurry.

The failure mode is the gateway becoming a monolith. Business logic, complex transformations and routing rules pile up until it becomes a critical component everyone is wary of changing, and every team waits on whoever owns it. Keeping it to truly cross-cutting concerns is a rule that needs active enforcement.

## What your dedicated team does with API gateways.

The gateway is on the critical path for everything. Its availability is the system's availability, and a change to it can affect every service simultaneously.

That risk means gateway changes need the same care as a database migration, the kind of standard your [dedicated cloud and DevOps team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/) holds.

## Common API gateways use cases.

* Authentication implemented once Consistent enforcement at the edge.
* Rate limiting before traffic reaches services Abuse and overload handled where it costs least.
* Logic kept out of the gateway Cross-cutting concerns only, so it stays easy to change.
