API Composition pattern in Microservices: Composing multiple APIs to provide a unified interface in a microservices architecture
In a microservices architecture, each service owns and manages its own data and functionality. However, there are often times when multiple microservices need to work together to provide a unified interface to the user. This is where the API composition pattern comes into play. In this article, we will discuss the API composition pattern in microservices and the benefits of composing multiple APIs in a microservices architecture. Overview of API composition pattern in microservices API composition is the act of combining different APIs into a single API that provides a unified interface to the user. This pattern can be used in a microservices architecture to create a composite microservice that combines the functionalities of multiple microservices. The composite microservice can then be used as a single API by the user. API composition can be achieved in different ways. One way is to use an API gateway that acts as a front-end to the microservices. The API gateway receives requests fr...
