API Gateway enables you to provide secure access to your backend services through a well-defined REST API that is consistent across all of your services, regardless of the service implementation. Clients consume your REST APIS to implement standalone apps for a mobile device or tablet, through apps running in a browser, or through any other type of app that can make a request to an HTTP endpoint.
Overview
Syllabus
- API Gateway: Qwik Start
- API Gateway enables you to provide secure access to your services through a well-defined REST API that is consistent across all of your services, regardless of service implementation. In this lab, you will deploy an API on API Gateway to secure traffic to a backend service.
- Managing Cloud Run gRPC Services with API Gateway
- In this lab you learn how to set up API Gateway to manage and secure a Cloud Run backend service with gRPC.
- Transcoding HTTP/JSON API calls to gRPC through API Gateway
- In this lab you learn how to set up an API Gateway to manage access to gRPC APIs by using HTTP/JSON transcoding. Transcoding involves mapping HTTP/JSON requests and their parameters to gRPC methods, parameters and return types. Once API transcoding is properly configured, you will secure access to the API by requiring an API Key to retrieve data.
- Securing and Rate Limiting API calls using API Gateway
- In this lab you learn how to set up API Gateway to manage access to an API that is secured via an API Key and is rate limited by applying a Quota to the associated API Key.
