API gateway implementation services with rate limiting

API gateway implementation services place a controlled front door in front of your backend. Omeiro deploys Kong or Envoy with routes, authentication, rate limiting and circuit breakers so abusive traffic is slowed and failing services do not take everything down.

A gateway also gives you one place to see and change traffic rules, which makes later growth simpler.

API gateway implementation: what to decide first

Good api gateway implementation starts with knowing who calls your API. Public developers, partner systems, mobile apps and internal services need different limits and authentication, and one policy for all of them either blocks legitimate users or lets abuse through. Before ordering, list your routes, who consumes each, how clients authenticate today and any endpoints that are expensive for your backend, such as search or exports.

Rate limits work best when they match real behaviour. A token bucket tolerates short bursts, which suits interactive apps, while a leaky bucket smooths traffic into a steady flow for fragile backends. Responses should say clearly when a limit is hit, with a retry hint, so well-behaved clients can adapt. A sound api gateway implementation also logs blocked requests, so you can tell attackers from a customer whose script has a bug.
