Edge services

An edge service acts as a proxy. It is designed to take all incoming requests and do something useful with them, before sending them to the services that are behind the load balancers, firewalls, and so on.

There are two main types of edge services:

  • Microproxy
  • API gateway

One of the benefits of using an edge service is that you can manage all of the specific client details in a centralized place instead of writing code to deal with these details in each service individually. For example, if you need to make a particular consideration for mobile clients, this is the perfect place to do it.
