Implementing API Gateway With Ocelot in ASP.NET Core

Hi everyone. My name is Marinko Spasojevic and in this video, I will talk about creating an API gateway for your microservices in ASP.NET Core.

An API Gateway acts as a mediator between client applications and the backend services within the microservices architecture. It is a software layer that functions as a single endpoint for various APIs performing tasks such as request composition, routing, and protocol translation.

To be able to create the gateway project, I will use Ocelot. Ocelot is an open-source API Gateway, designed for microservices architecture, and in this video, you will see how it makes the process of creating an API gateway so easy. Also, I will show you how we can cache results and implement Rate limiting using Ocelot.

Thank you for touch this topic. It would be great if could explore service discovery concept.

Excellent article! If the destination API has security (jwt token), how is the configuration in Ocelot to send the token in the header or does it automatically forward the received headers? Thank you!

How to setup this communication in containerization in localhost. I want to setup gateway and functional microservice in localhost. I'm using docker compose for deploying multiple container.
