You need a central unified entry-point to handle cross-cutting concerns: classic ones like authentication and IP blacklisting and API-related ones like rate limiting and canary release.
In this workshop, we will use Apache APISIX on Docker to show a couple of nifty features that can help your information system cope with the challenges introduced by APIs.
Routing your calls to the correct upstream
Available abstractions: Route, Upstream, Service
The Apache APISIX dashboard
Configuring APISIX with the dashboard
