API 对很多企业越来越重要，因此，为应用交付基础架构选择正确的 API 网关方式变的至关重要。在这里，我们探讨了五种模式：边缘网关、双层网关、微网关、per-pod 网关和 sidecar 网关。
Building and Securely Delivering APIs with the NGINX Application Platform
The NGINX Application Platform accelerates application delivery from code to customer with a comprehensive API delivery solution that spans from creation of API functions through their delivery to end users. Step-by-step instructions for configuring NGINX Controller and NGINX Unit are provided.
The State of API Gateways
We examine the state of API gateways as the industry transitions from monolithic to microservices‑based apps, considering the challenges of hugely distributed app environments. We explore the role of API gateways in a service mesh and in hybrid clouds.
Tapping NGINX for AI-Powered Insight into API Traffic
PingIdentity provides an NGINX integration with its AI-driven solution for API security, PingIntelligence for APIs. The solution uses API metadata collected by NGINX to determine whether API clients are granted access. PingIntelligence for APIs also provides dashboards, reports, and anomaly detection.
APIs Need Secure and Scalable Delivery Too
Your APIs need the same level of security, scalability, and visibility as your web applications. API gateway functionality is built into NGINX Plus, together with its many other high-performance features. NGINX Controller manages your API gateways and provides full API lifecycle management.
Over-the-Air Updates to IoT Devices with NGINX
One of the biggest challenges in scaling deployments on the Internet of Things is device management, particularly over-the-air updates, commonly called OTA. Guest blogger DeveloperSteve shows how to automate OTA using NGINX as an API gateway, along with the NGINX JavaScript module.
Introducing “Ask NGINX…”
In this inaugural post in our "Ask NGINX" series, we explain how to convert F5 BIG-IP iRules and Apache rewrite rules to NGINX syntax, use NGINX as an API gateway and NGINX Controller for full API lifecycle management, and implement blue-green deployment with NGINX.
Audi Builds a Microservices Dashboard with NGINX Plus as API Gateway on AWS
In his session at NGINX Conf 2018, Timo Stark of Audi shares how his team built the Audi Cockpit, a dashboard on which Audi employees access work apps. NGINX Plus serves as API gateway for the dashboard, which uses AWS-hosted microservices in Kubernetes-managed containers.
Do You Really Need Different Kinds of API Gateways? (Hint: No!)
NGINX Plus covers all API gateway use cases, from traditional monoliths to distributed microservices. No need for the separate microgateway that first-generation API management vendors have had to bolt onto their solutions to handle modern application architectures.
Introducing NGINX API Management: Manage NGINX Plus API Gateways with NGINX Controller
The API Management Module introduced in NGINX Controller 2.0 provides control-plane functionality and a simple user interface for managing NGINX Plus as an API gateway. Infrastructure & Operations and DevOps teams can easily define, publish, monitor, and analyze APIs.
