All hands-on implementation of concepts! - Introduction to API Gateway & Kong - Prepare code, remove all security aspects from previous code - Change Winston logging to use file transports - Change Docker-compose to start KONG API Gateway - Configure Prom tail and Kong using declarative approach employing YAML - Load balanced setup with 2 containers equally sharing load (Scalability) - Kong Gateway for CORS, rate limiting, JWT and more - Generating JWT tokens using JWT.IO - Test kong gateway api setup using postman - Check kong metrics collected using prometheus - Check the aggregated loki logs collected through promtail from different containers in grafana https://github.com/GreenForrester/NodeBackend_p5 (Remember to fork & star repo 🚀) #redis #nosql #restapi #backendwebdevelopment #softwaredevelopment #backenddevelopment #security #apigateway #kongapigateway #docker #jwt #loki #grafana #KongAPIGateway
