## Intent
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aggregate calls to microservices in a single location: the API Gateway. The user makes a single
|
||
|
|
call to the API Gateway, and the API Gateway then calls each relevant microservice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Applicability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the API Gateway pattern when
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* you're also using the Microservices pattern and need a single point of aggregation for your
|
||
|
|
microservice calls
