Architecture Challenge
A large enterprise needed to modernize their monolithic architecture to support rapid scaling and development. The challenge was breaking down legacy systems into microservices while implementing a robust API gateway to manage complex service interactions.
Key Challenges:
- • Decomposing monolithic legacy systems
- • Managing 120+ independent microservices
- • Implementing centralized API management
- • Ensuring security across distributed architecture
- • Handling 50M+ daily API requests efficiently
- • Maintaining sub-50ms response times
Our Architecture Solution
We architected and implemented a comprehensive microservices ecosystem with an enterprise-grade API gateway, providing centralized management, security, and monitoring for distributed services at enterprise scale.
Core Architecture Features:
- • Enterprise API gateway with centralized management
- • 120+ independently scalable microservices
- • Advanced security layer with OAuth 2.0 & rate limiting
- • Real-time monitoring and observability platform
- • Auto-scaling infrastructure with load balancing
- • Service mesh for inter-service communication
Technical Implementation
