Enterprise API Gateway
A NestJS-based API gateway providing centralized authentication, rate limiting, request transformation, and intelligent routing for a microservices ecosystem.

The Challenge
As the microservices ecosystem grew, each service independently handled authentication, rate limiting, and CORS — creating security inconsistencies and duplicated logic across services.
My Approach
Built a centralized API gateway with NestJS that acts as a single entry point. Implemented JWT validation, role-based access control, Redis-backed rate limiting, and request/response transformation. Dockerized for easy deployment.
