Can I use this to set up authentication?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for JWT authentication, authorization, and securing backend services at the gateway level.

How does this help with microservice management?

It centralizes cross-cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, and request transformation, ensuring your microservices don't have to handle these individually.

Which gateway platforms are supported by this skill?

This skill provides specialized configurations for Kong (YAML), Nginx, AWS API Gateway (via SAM), and Traefik.

Does it handle traffic management and security?

Absolutely. It provides ready-to-use templates for rate limiting, throttling, load balancing, and SSL termination to protect your infrastructure.
