I basically have a smaller software that is using the Microservice architecture. I am currently using RabbitMQ to do the communication between UI and services and that works great.
However I am thinking about creating a new microservice, a API Gateway, that basically takes the RabbitMQ logic from the UI and encapsulate into a service, which would become the entry point to all the other services.
The benefit is that I would encapsulate the logic that give access to the services and also being able to add authentication in the API Gateway.
However I would need to use HTTP request to interact with the API as I am moving the messaging logic from the UI. Could there be any major drawbacks in this approach?
I have being able to find examples about RabbitMQ and examples about API Gateways but never those two together, I might just be overthinking it a bit.
