API Gateway and Load Balancers

1. 1Design an API Gateway using AWS API Gateway or NGINX to manage client requests
2. 2Configure a Load Balancer using HAProxy or AWS ELB to distribute traffic across multiple servers
3. 3Compare the functionalities of API Gateways and Load Balancers to determine the best use case for each
4. 4Implement security measures such as authentication and rate limiting using API Gateways
5. 5Test the scalability of your system by simulating high traffic using tools like Apache JMeter

Backend engineers and architects benefit from understanding the roles of API Gateways and Load Balancers in system design to ensure scalability and security

💡 API Gateways and Load Balancers serve distinct purposes in system design, with API Gateways handling client requests and Load Balancers distributing traffic

🚀 API Gateways vs Load Balancers: know the difference to scale your system efficiently!
