Description

The use of API Gateways as a routing layer is a frequent use in the development of services, there are OpenSource API Gateway solutions but these solutions were not enough to scale our service. In the talk we will detail the limitations encountered when using one of the most popular OpenSource API Gateways; the motivations that led us to develop our own API Gateway with FastAPI and Starlette, and how this development that was implemented in a week today supports 2X requests per second with less than 1/4 of the computational resources than the previous solution used.
