What is a REST API Gateway

Introduction

dottedLine

REST API Gateway sits in front of a database and provides a REST API interface. This service acts as an intermediary between clients (like a web or mobile application) and your (SQL Server, Oracle or Sybase) database, and often includes additional features for security, scaling, and management.

The service accepts HTTP requests (following the REST principles), performs necessary operations such as authentication and business logic, and then communicates with the database to fulfill the request. The results are then sent back to the client in the form of HTTP responses, often formatted as JSON or XML.
