What an API gateway is
API gateway is the component sitting in front of services that manages all API calls: routing, authentication, rate limiting, logging, transformation. It hides internal complexity behind a single interface.
Why it matters
As the number of integrations grows, the gateway provides centralised control over security, versions and traffic, instead of each service reimplementing these rules.
Typical functions
- Authentication and authorisation
- Rate limiting and throttling
- Routing and versioning
- Logging and monitoring
How CRMconnect helps
CRMconnect exposes and consumes APIs through a controlled layer with centralised authentication, monitoring and error handling, so integrations stay secure and observable as the ecosystem grows.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A company with dozens of integrations handled security differently in each. Consolidating calls on CRMconnect's controlled layer standardised authentication and logging, reducing incidents.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Difference between API gateway and iPaaS?+
The gateway controls API access (security, routing, traffic); iPaaS orchestrates full integration flows between applications. They complement each other.
Do I need a gateway for a few integrations?+
The benefit grows with the number of integrations. At small scale it's optional; at large scale it becomes essential for control and security.
