The Life of an API Gateway Request (Part 2)

In this two-part series, Kong Engineer, Enrique García Cota abstracts how an API gateway processes requests into four different layers.

In part 1 of this series, we started a journey from the planet-spanning infrastructure layer to what happens inside a single Kong worker, similar to an office building in complexity.

In this second part, we'll dive a bit deeper—we’ll see who the occupants of that office building are and the kind of life they live.
