API gateway software acts as an intermediary layer that manages, secures, and routes network traffic, API requests, and webhooks for developers and engineering teams. These tools centralize essential operational tasks such as authentication, rate limiting, protocol translation, and telemetry across distributed services. Unlike standard web servers or basic reverse proxies, they specialize in enforcing API-level policies and payload transformations tailored to modern application architectures.
