"Hey fellow devs, I wanted to start a convo about revamping API security using HTTP gateways for a zero-trust architecture. As we all know, APIs are the new face of web dev, but they're also a major attack vector. Has anyone else experimented with this approach or have some real-world success stories to share?"
"Revamping API Security: Using HTTP Gateways for Zero-Trust Architecture"
- Thread starter 5492332
- Start date
"Hey guys, I've seen some companies using service mesh to achieve similar results with their APIs. It's worth looking into if you're planning to implement a zero-trust architecture. Has anyone here had any experience with the likes of Istio or Linkerd?"

"Yea, I've heard of HTTP gateways being used for zero-trust but haven't personally implemented it. I'd love to see some real-world examples of how they're being used to enhance API security in production environments. Does anyone have any links to good resources on this?"
Just wanted to chime in and say that I've seen some success implementing API keys and OAuth 2.0 for external API access. HTTP Gateways can be a great layer of abstraction for added security, but it's worth discussing trade-offs in latency and scalability. Has anyone had experience with NGINX or Traefik for this use case?

"Dude, HTTP Gateways can be a total game-changer for API security. I've seen some implementations that use them as a layer of defense between the API and the outside world, which helps prevent those nasty lateral movements. Definitely something I'm looking into for our dev team."
