About One Approach to Deploying an API Gateway Development Environment

The article outlines the problem of an integral approach to building an API gateway that includes the API gateway itself, the development of documentation for the API, sandbox for API end users, and automated testing. This problem is divided into tasks, each of which is solved. As a result, a general approach has been developed for deploying an environment for developing and executing API gateway, which takes into account: convenient configuration and launch of the gateway server, flexible development of APIs’ documentation and its convenient viewing by end users, as well as end-to-end and performance testing developed APIs. A demo example is given and its implementation features are described. The ways of its further development are proposed.
