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

API Gateway
