Spring Cloud Gateway is an API gateway tool developed using Spring WebFlux and based on Spring Framework 5. It provides the following functionalities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Routing forwarding: Based on the path and conditions of the request, it is possible to forward the request to different service instances.<\/li>\n
  2. Filter: You can add custom filtering logic during the request and response processing, such as authentication, request logging, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Load balancing: supports integrated load balancers, which can forward requests to different service instances based on load balancing policies.<\/li>\n
  4. Circuit breaker mechanism: Supports integrated fuses, which automatically stop forwarding requests to a service instance when it fails or exceeds a set threshold, preventing service cascades.<\/li>\n
  5. Flow control mechanism: Supports integrated flow limiters that can restrict requests based on set flow control strategies to prevent the service from being overwhelmed by too many requests.<\/li>\n
  6. Path rewriting: allows for modifying the request path to address inconsistencies in path mapping between services.<\/li>\n

  8. Monitoring and statistics: You can monitor and collect statistics on the performance and status of the gateway by integrating Spring Cloud’s monitoring and statistics components.<\/li>\n
  9. High availability: supports high availability deployment of multiple Gateway instances, with requests being forwarded to available Gateway instances through a load balancer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is important to note that Spring Cloud Gateway is not a complete API gateway solution, but rather provides a basic framework and tools for developers to customize and further develop according to their own needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
