## What it is
Goku API Gateway (goku_lite) is a high-performance HTTP API gateway written in pure Go, offering dynamic routing, service orchestration, multi-tenancy, access control, and a plugin system with a graphical configuration dashboard. The project has stopped maintenance and its successor is the Apinto gateway.

## Use cases
- manage and proxy http apis for microservices
- api gateway with graphical configuration dashboard
- multi-tenant api access control and rate limiting
- orchestrate multiple backend services behind one endpoint
- hot-reload gateway configuration without restarts
- self-hosted open source alternative to kong

## When to choose
- you need a Go-based API gateway with a built-in admin dashboard
- you want service orchestration and multi-tenancy out of the box
- you're evaluating it for historical reference or a fork

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the project is unmaintained and succeeded by Apinto
- you need long-term support, security patches, or community updates
- you need a gateway in a language other than Go

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: abandoned
- function: api-gateway, proxy, routing, middleware, rate-limiting, auth, monitoring
- domain: microservices, apis, backend
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: api-gateway, service-orchestration, multi-tenancy, hot-reload, golang, superseded-by-apinto, devops, linux, docker, web-server
