Features

• Centralized authentication (JWT)
• Rate limiting and quota management
• Dynamic policy engine (RBAC/ABAC, real-time updates)
• Request routing and microservice proxying
• Admin API for policy management
• Logging, monitoring, and audit trail
• Utility functions for validation, encoding, and error handling
• Policy storage and advanced enforcement
• Basic tests for gateway modules
• Scalable backend codebase (500+ lines)

Benefits

• Consistent, centralized security and policy enforcement
• Real-time updates for policies and access control
• Reliable audit trail and compliance support
• Simplifies microservice management and monitoring
