⚙️ fastapi-gateway is async single entry point for microservices.

API Gateway performs many tasks: accepts, processes and distributes requests, controls traffic, monitors and controls access and security, caching, throttling.

Initially, this project was created for myself, I needed to implement identification, authentication and authorization. In the future, there was a need to limit requests for each user on every endpoint, create API plans. There were a lot of microservices and to keep in each microservice the logic for limiting endpoints, security logic, logging etc. - meaningless. Therefore, all this functionality is located at a single entry point, which already implements all the necessary tasks with security, limiting, etc., while microservices now directly solve their tasks.

💿 Installation

pip install fastapi_gateway

🪛 How to use?

  • request_method - is a callable (like app.get, app.post, foo_router.patch and so on.).
  • service_url - the path to the endpoint on another service (like "https://microservice1.example.com").
  • service_path - the path to the method in microservice (like "/v1/microservice/users").
  • gateway_path - is the path to bind gateway.
    For example, your gateway api is located here - https://gateway.example.com and the path to endpoint (gateway_path) - "/users" then the full way to this method will be - https://gateway.example.com/users
  • override_headers - Boolean value allows you to return all the headlines that were created by microservice in gateway.
  • query_params - used to extract query parameters from endpoint and transmission to microservice
  • form_params - used to extract form model parameters from endpoint and transmission to microservice
  • param body_params - used to extract body model from endpoint and transmission to microservice

⚠️ - Be sure to transfer the name of the argument to the router, which is in the endpoint func!

query_params - List[Query]
body_params - List[Body]
form_params - List[File, Form]
