The rapid increase of online services has driven the development of increasingly complex web applications using a microservice based system that can consist of dozens or even hundreds of individual services communicating with each other via APIs.

So how do you manage this increase of API traffic if you intend to scale and add more functionality to your app?

In this lightboard video, Jason Goode with IBM, demonstrates how implementing an API Gateway solution can help you better manage complex application communication by using an example of an eCommerce storefront that gets a surge in web traffic.
