I have been using NGINX API Gateway for most of my personal projects, and I primarily use it for authentication aspects, rate limiting, and as my reverse proxy. I normally use NGINX API Gateway for my proxies. In my current project, I use it as my proxies against the team skill, where I have two services, and without it, it would be difficult for me to route my services to the correct one. In a scenario where I was working on one core banking application, we had two services: the customer service side, which handles normal customer flow registration, and the ledger side, which performs the actual calculations. With NGINX API Gateway, it routes the requests to the specific services instead of direct hits to the services.
