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.
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.
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.
The Problem
When every microservice has its own logging and metrics, it's impossible to get a consolidated view of API usage, performance, and errors. This makes it difficult to monitor the health of your overall API landscape.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our experts are masters of API observability. We vet their ability to configure the API Gateway to generate centralized logs, metrics, and traces for all API traffic, providing a single pane of glass for monitoring and troubleshooting.
The Problem
Manually provisioning API keys and setting up access policies for every new developer or partner is a slow, error-prone process that doesn't scale. It creates a bottleneck for onboarding new users to your platform.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We hire engineers who are experts in API product management. They are vetted on their ability to use the API Gateway's developer portal and key management features to create a self-service experience for API consumers, automating the onboarding process and accelerating adoption.
