Exploring the Future of Cloud Technologies

I would wish to talk about google's api gateway , it acts as a single ,centralized entry point for all incoming traffic before routing request to actual backend services, it helps you centralise your security removing the headache of having to write authentication logic for example verifying JWTs and API keys on every single microservice , you only get to do it once at the gateway , this saves your backend from wasted processing power , it acts as a rate limiter hepling you prevent DDos attacks or runway scripts before they crash your database , Yes I believe it will shape the future of the industry , modern applications are collections of hundreds of tiny ,"decoupled services" , managing these kind of applications become practically impossible without a gateway , the gateways are becoming the backbone of modern system architecture , and also as the security threats evolve , the gateways become policy enforcement point in a zero trust model , the gateway achieves this by verifying every single request's identity and permissions on every turn , than just trusting the traffic because it made it past the firewall, How I forsee the role of cloud computing , : the role of cloud computing is to abstract away the plumbing of the internet so engineers can purely focus on building product features and solving the problems experienced by the users 2, in a case where your app goes viral tommorow , the cloud can spin up new servers instances in seconds to handle the traffic ,
