Usage Example

skill:
  name: api-gateway-configurator
  context:
    gateway: kong
    routes:
      - path: /v1/*
        upstream: api-v1
        plugins:
          - rate-limiting
          - jwt-auth
      - path: /v2/*
        upstream: api-v2
        plugins:
          - rate-limiting
          - oauth2
    rateLimiting:
      default: 1000/hour
      authenticated: 10000/hour
    circuitBreaker:
      threshold: 5
      timeout: 30s

Best Practices

Use declarative configurations
Implement proper rate limiting tiers
Configure circuit breakers for all upstreams
Version APIs through routing
Centralize authentication
Monitor gateway metrics
