Abstract
In previous chapters, API gateways were introduced. Now it is time to look at them in detail. On a high level, these components are proxies that enable introspection of any message received and returned. They work on TCP level 3 – 5. Figure 7-1 shows a view of the topology within a simple network that includes an API proxy (I’m using both terms, API gateway and API proxy, to emphasize that they are the same).
