Hire API Gateway Experts | Nearshore Software Development

An API Gateway is a management tool that sits in front of your backend services and acts as a single entry point for all your APIs. It can handle tasks like authentication, rate limiting, caching, and request routing, allowing your backend services to focus on their core business logic. You need an expert who can help you implement an API Gateway to secure, manage, and scale your APIs. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds engineers who are masters of API management. We test their ability to work with leading API Gateway solutions, to configure complex routing rules, and to implement robust security policies.

Are your backend services exposed directly to the internet?

The Problem

Exposing your microservices directly to the public internet creates a large attack surface and forces each service to implement its own cross-cutting concerns like authentication and rate limiting.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for engineers who are experts in securing and managing APIs with an API Gateway. They must demonstrate the ability to use an API Gateway to create a single, secure entry point for your APIs, and to offload common tasks like authentication, rate limiting, and logging.

Proof: Secure and Centralized API Management

Is your API architecture a complex mess of different protocols and versions?

The Problem

In a microservices architecture, you may have a mix of services that use different protocols (e.g., REST, gRPC) or have different versions. Exposing this complexity directly to your clients can be a nightmare.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers are proficient in using an API Gateway to create a clean and consistent API for your clients. They are vetted on their ability to use the gateway to perform protocol translation, request/response transformation, and to route requests to different versions of a service.

Core Competencies We Validate

API Gateway patterns and concepts

AWS API Gateway, Kong, or other leading solutions

Request routing and protocol translation

Authentication, authorization, and rate limiting

Caching and performance optimization

Our Technical Analysis

The API Gateway evaluation focuses on managing and securing a modern API landscape. Candidates are required to design an API Gateway configuration for a microservices-based application, demonstrating their understanding of how to handle routing, security, and other cross-cutting concerns. A critical assessment is their ability to configure a robust security policy, including authentication and rate limiting. We also test their knowledge of how to use an API Gateway to facilitate the evolution of an API without breaking clients. Finally, we assess their hands-on experience with a specific API Gateway technology.
