The Challenge

The client had 15+ microservices with inconsistent authentication, no rate limiting, and poor documentation. API response times were unpredictable, and there was no centralized way to monitor API health or usage patterns across services.

The Solution

Built a centralized API gateway using Node.js and Express with Redis for caching and rate limiting. Implemented JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens, created auto-generated Swagger documentation, and built a real-time monitoring dashboard showing request volumes, latencies, and error rates across all services.

Key Features

Centralized JWT authentication with RBAC
Intelligent rate limiting per user/endpoint
Response caching with Redis
Auto-generated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
Request/response logging and audit trails
Real-time API health monitoring dashboard
Webhook management system
SDK generation for multiple languages

Results & Impact

API response times reduced by 60%

Zero unauthorized access incidents

Developer onboarding time cut from days to hours

Handling 1M+ API calls per day
