OVER 75 PROJECTS AND COUNTING...
In my role as Project Officer with Caring Community Creators (2023โ2025), Iโve led and implemented initiatives that impacted over 30,000 beneficiaries in underserved communities across Nigeria โ spanning Gender Advocacy, Peacebuilding, Education,

When designing a system, we often need clarification about the roles of a Load Balancer and an API Gateway. Most of our resources focus on their implementation rather than real-life use cases.
๐น ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ sits between a client and a group of backend services. It performs the function of a reverse proxy by accepting all application programming interface (API) calls, aggregating the different services needed to fulfill them, and returning the right outcome. ๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ are typical duties that API gateways take care of on behalf of a system of API services. Also, the API gateway can handle faults (circuit breaker) and log and monitor.
๐น ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ is a service that distributes incoming traffic across many servers or resources. Usually, we have two or more web servers on the backend, and it ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ. Its primary purpose is to use resources optimally. A more equal task allocation and increased capacity can enhance the system's responsiveness and reliability. There are three high-level load balancers: hardware-based, cloud-based, and software-based.
๐น ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐ server resides in front of backend servers and transfers client requests to these servers. Reverse proxies are typically used to increase security, speed, and dependability. A reverse proxy receives a request from a client, forwards it to another server, and then returns it to the client, giving the impression that the first proxy server handled the request. These proxies ensure that users don't access the origin server directly, giving the web server anonymity. They are usually used for Load balancing, where we need to deal with incoming traffic flow so that we may distribute that traffic between multiple backend servers or use them for caching.
So, the main thing that differs these two is that an ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ to the appropriate service and it handles requests for APIs, while a ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐น๐ between a group of servers and handles requests that are sent to a single IP address, which works at protocol or socket level (TCP, HTTP).
Some ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ of API Gateways are Amazon API Gateway, Ocelot (.NET-based), Tyk, or Apache APISIX, while Load Balancers are Azure Load Balancer, HAProxy, or Seesaw.
An example of reverse proxy services is ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐, ๐ก๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฆ with additional modules (Url Rewrite).

Rev Isaac Omolehin had just finished preaching on Saturday, & the protocol officer about driving baba to his hotel room had his wife rush to him to inform him his daughter had just died.
He told the wife that when he drops baba, he would come back & attend to the dead.
Baba seeing everything that transpired between the protocol officer & his wife kept quiet till they got to the hotel.
Baba moved with compassion after coming down from the vehicle looked up & cried out the dead girlโs name โSeun, Come Backโ. He shouted 3 times & left.
Before the protocol officer could get home to his wife to attend to the matter of the dead, his dead daughter had come back to life.
The next day baba was to minister, the dead girl who had come to life joined him on the altar.
We are in the days of His power; the days of strange happenings where Jehovah will do what only Him alone can do.

You don't have to make sure you establish your point in every argument or even attempt to win. Some people were just sent to drain your energy and cause you to lose focus. They really have no mission in life. Set your ego aside and just walk away.
