[Verse 1]
Your API's drowning in a million calls today
Traffic floods the server, users can't get through the maze
Need a bouncer at the door, checking every single guest
API Gateway stands guard, sorting out the mess
[Chorus]
Gate-keep, rate-sleep, throttle down the speed
Kong and AWS watching what you need
Auth-en-ti-cate, then validate the key
Gateway patterns, gateway patterns, keeping systems free
[Verse 2]
Kong's a proxy sitting pretty 'tween the client and your code
Filters every request before it hits the road
AWS Gateway scales elastic, handles burst and steady flow
Transforms the data, logs the metrics, makes your architecture glow
[Chorus]
Gate-keep, rate-sleep, throttle down the speed
Kong and AWS watching what you need
Auth-en-ti-cate, then validate the key
Gateway patterns, gateway patterns, keeping systems free
[Bridge]
Token bucket fills with chances, leaky bucket drains away
Fixed window counts the minutes, sliding window counts the fray
Circuit breaker trips when errors pile too high
Rate limiting saves your backend when the storm clouds fill the sky
[Verse 3]
JWT tokens carry secrets, API keys unlock the gate
OAuth flows through redirects, never let the hackers wait
CORS headers cross domains, TLS encrypts the wire
Security layers stack like armor, built to never tire
[Chorus]
Gate-keep, rate-sleep, throttle down the speed
Kong and AWS watching what you need
Auth-en-ti-cate, then validate the key
Gateway patterns, gateway patterns, keeping systems free
[Outro]
When your microservices scatter like confetti in the wind
Gateway orchestrates the chaos, lets the real requests begin
Monitor, transform, and route them, every byte accounted for
API Gateway architecture, that's what CTOs adore
