Your video is like a pill of multi-concepts one can watch it in couple of minutes, very precise and to the point, videos animation is just satisfying ❤
I love everything about these videos, thank you for the time you've spent making each one of these. Has it been considered by your team to do the OSI model in the future?
I bought 2 of your system design interview, they're both very good. Your video with diagrams is really helpful and easy to understand the technical details. It must be nice to have you as a mentor.
Great explanation, especially combined with the images interacting with the content being explained, made understanding much easier to me

I'd worked with very basic API GW configurations in AWS, and this video was useful to have a quick list of all the advantages of this technology. I'll continue exploring its features. Thanks.
Love your videos and have recommended your channel and blogs to my fellow colleagues. I used to love watching Keith Barker (CBT Nuggets) during my early days, your videos are in similar lines with great explanations and animations. I work at F5 and many of these technologies are what I work on day in day out, so feel free to reach out for any inputs. Some topics I would like to suggest are DDOS, DNS, VPN, LB, NAT, BGP, etc. Good luck!
But I just must be stupid then because I understood absolutely everything about what an API does due to his detailed explanation, except for 1 massive piece of important information, what is API!? He explained what it does like I said perfectly but not what API is!! It's just like if I explained what a tap does but never mention that I'm talking about a tap! I've actually got a gaming degree in games design via Train2Game and know a lot about computers from the inside out and literally only came here because I was already on here listening to songs and for some reason API came into my thoughts and do you know when something so simple is on the tip of your tongue but just can't remember what said thing is, well I've completely forgot what it stands for hence why I'm here now, I didn't want to post a main comment due to being so embarrassed, please tell me what an API is, not what it does, sorry for the long rambling.
Very nice work on the videos, thanks 👍. If I can make a suggestion, a video about passkeys(webauthn) and maybe the differences between the Apple/Google implementations(like in your Apple pay/Google pay video) would be really awesome.
i dont think the response animation in red at 2:23 should go through all the services in the gateway... after protocol conversion it can be routed to the client
Thanks for the video, shall i have to implement circuit breaker and discovery pattern or its inbuilt in Api gateway and no need to implement eternally??
u can think of API Gateway as anything on the Server network that's going to first receive the request and does all types of processing, except handling a business use-case and eventually handing off the modified request to business/domain service.
Thanks to the bytebyteGo team for these illustrative explanations: I have a question. What could be the difference in using an API Gateway and using a Service Mesh approach? Both have similarities like traffic routing, circuit breaking to protect applications and rate limit, and both get track of the data collected to see what is going on at individual request level (so monitoring is also included in somehow). Dong both also Load Balancing is one of another way. That my understanding suggest me is that Service Mesh are more for network observability and securing the internal interactions betweeen services, and API gateway could be sit in a more high level perspective, by receiving Client requests and doing all that the video specify. Not sure if that is correct. I am wondering if a Servie Mesh can behave in somehow as an API Gateway, perhaps yes, depending on the capabilities we need to work with, but cloud providers api gateway are definitively a plus like HA across regions and seamless integrations with other services they talk to like K8s or whatever. Curious about hearing your thoughts about this appreciation. Thanks for the time spent on sharing all this valuable information. :)
@@DanielDogeanu the IP is often not enough, you should not ban an entire network for a single misbehaving user, specially if the offense wasn’t serious
What is the function of API Gateway in monolith. And second doubt I have is a lot of things you mentioned can also achieved by middlewares so how does all this fit in.
To avoid single point of failure in API Gateway, as you mentioned it should be geographically deployed. But within same data center, should a load balancer be placed before API gateway? Or there should be failover API gateway as it already does load balancing?
Yes, you don`t need an additional cache service on the api layer with most of the existing api gateway solutions. But for other layers it could still make sense to have a cache too like webapps etc.
Please share link for API Authentication with JWT token or Token based authentication as its is very complex to understand when it comes to enable API Authentication with existing Identity Provider for specific application
Very nice videos. Concise and easy to understand 😊 I have a question here. What is the difference between api gateway and reverse proxy? It seems they have very similar roles.
In a typical web application, Is the client sending the request to API GW a web client or web server? Meaning that users are using the web application and it’s the web app which is hosted on a web server calling the API GW, right?
I have one question here ..do you recommend any library or any spring based library to implement this ..?I am looking for some hello world example in github which does all this ..?Its really a great great demo and i want to use it but no idea where to start ..i am looking for some example version in java i can use ..i highly appreciate if you can give some examples …
How is it different from Applications routing system or NGINX? Like in Rails, dJango, we can define routes and do almost all of the things described in the video. I think API Gateway is just managed service but deployed on multiple regions/edge locations.
There are lots of other thing done by API gateway rather a load balancer or request router. Main purpose it to manage API lifecycle where, developer can start with API first development and share it among other developers. You can do API publishing, subscribing, deprecating, versioning APIs with an API gateway. Other than those, you can throttle, certificate validation, authentication, authorisation on API gateway.
Liked the content, good explanation. However, the constant slow zoom is really disorienting to watch for people that can't handle that type of motion. It's an accessibility thing.
Alex, your explanations are incredibly clear and straightforward. I appreciate your simplicity, making it easy to comprehend. Thank you.
I really appreciate these short videos that you do and how do you explain things. Thank you.

I love everything about these videos, thank you for the time you've spent making each one of these. Has it been considered by your team to do the OSI model in the future?
Simple and yet detailed overview. Enjoyed watching it. Would appreciate if you can also share pros and cons of such architectural patterns/services.
I bought 2 of your system design interview, they're both very good. Your video with diagrams is really helpful and easy to understand the technical details. It must be nice to have you as a mentor.
Parameter validation -> allow/deny listing -> authentication/authorization -> rate limiting -> dynamic routing -> service discovery -> Protocol conversion

you are mind blowing. i started searching for your channel for every concept.
100% best videos on compsci topics. Thank you
This is the simplest I have seen it. Great job!
very crisp and all detailed video .. not lengthy , easy to understand and remember ❤
Next level animation and explaination combination
You are the man! Have the first book and the sub to your System Design series.
Your newsletter is a great read. Thanks!
I enjoy your videos. May I know how you create these beautiful animations of the flow charts and diagrams?
Yeah I am also wondering the same
Most likely he pays a professional to do it
adobe after effects
Yea I also wondering
Me too. Please let us know.
Great explanation, Alex. Best explanation I found.
Wow ! Another long awaited video, and another great video!

Brilliant vid simple and easy to understand. 👌🏼
Great video, covered a lot in this small video
Thanks for clarifying this topic
what software do you use to create such beautiful graphs, presentations, and animations?
I’m loving your videos!!
Thanks a lot! Great explanation!
great . thanks . useful for interviews
Thx for your video, easy to understand

Thanks for the time spent on sharing all this valuable information. :)
I'm curious as to why allow/deny isn't the first step? Why validate parameters for a "client" that isn't allowed in the first place?
The deny could be revoked for specific users, can’t know if you don’t validate first
I was thinking about this as well. It seems like a waste of resources.
@@willinton06 You can get the request's IP first, and check the allow/deny list. No need to read the payload before.
@@DanielDogeanu the IP is often not enough, you should not ban an entire network for a single misbehaving user, specially if the offense wasn’t serious
2:17 isn't gRPC simply an implementation framework of RPC? The protocol could be something like protobuf, flatbuffers, cap'n proto, etc.
protobuf is data format, just like JSON. not protocol.
wow, love your video. Thanks
This is a great video!
Fantastic ..... just curious to know how you design block diagram with this nice graphics
Excellent video! 👏🤩
Load balancing and scalability is main key point here
Very helpful 👌 thank you
Will we still need a load balancer if we have an API gateway?
Thank you for this.. Love it.
What is the function of API Gateway in monolith. And second doubt I have is a lot of things you mentioned can also achieved by middlewares so how does all this fit in.
Short and sweet.
To avoid single point of failure in API Gateway, as you mentioned it should be geographically deployed. But within same data center, should a load balancer be placed before API gateway? Or there should be failover API gateway as it already does load balancing?
Do I need cache on my application (using Redis for example) if I'm using an API Gateway? You said that the API gateway also provides caching...

which software do you use to create this animation video?
Thank you for this very nice video. I am confused bye the API-Gateway naming. Isnt it a Proxy-Service instead?
Very nice videos. Concise and easy to understand 😊
I have a question here. What is the difference between api gateway and reverse proxy? It seems they have very similar roles.
Did you get the clarity to it?
Great video!
In a typical web application, Is the client sending the request to API GW a web client or web server? Meaning that users are using the web application and it’s the web app which is hosted on a web server calling the API GW, right?
Which tool did u use for the diagram? @ByteByteGo
good explanation
How we can create api gateway on our own, specifically with . Net core? If we don't wanna use other cloud provider's api gateways?
You are very good man
Hi Alex, do you have one for Webhook Gateways?
I have one question here ..do you recommend any library or any spring based library to implement this ..?I am looking for some hello world example in github which does all this ..?Its really a great great demo and i want to use it but no idea where to start ..i am looking for some example version in java i can use ..i highly appreciate if you can give some examples …
awesome video, tks
Very nice video. Could you also explain Digital Certificates and client certificate authentication?
The images were hard to read. Do you mind making the graphics a little bit larger next time? Thanks for your videos.
How is it different from Applications routing system or NGINX? Like in Rails, dJango, we can define routes and do almost all of the things described in the video.

Excellent!
Thank you!
what tool u use to make this animation?
Is it similar to load balancer?
Why rate limiting check after authentication?
What tool do you use to Design?
It will increase latency ... So isn't there any alternatives?
Amazing!
Excellent
So can I consider Nginx as an API Gateway?
Liked the content, good explanation. However, the constant slow zoom is really disorienting to watch for people that can't handle that type of motion. It's an accessibility thing.
I can bet no one can lay out an API gateway like this for you in such a short time.
Thank you, how is API gateway similar or different than reverse proxy?
API Gateway is used to Hide the server details. Reverse proxy is used to hide the client details
@@anbarasu1997Isn't it a forward proxy that hides client details?
I dont understand much but thank you !!
Animation 🤲🌟🌟
do microservices use API Gateway to communicate with each other?
Thanks a lot
In your opinion what are best api gateways in the market?
