Spring Cloud Gateway is an API gateway built on Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Project Reactor. It provides routing, filtering, and traffic management for microservices architectures.

Use cases

• route requests to backend microservices
• set up an API gateway for a Spring Boot microservices stack
• add rate limiting and request filtering at the edge
• implement cross-cutting concerns like auth and retries in one place
• load balance traffic across service instances

When to choose

• you have a Spring Boot or Spring Cloud microservices ecosystem
• you want a reactive, programmable gateway in Java
• you need deep integration with Spring Cloud service discovery and config

When to avoid

• you need a high-performance non-JVM gateway like Envoy or NGINX
• your stack is not JVM-based
• you only need simple static reverse proxying without custom logic
