Why do you need a self-service API gateway?

The adoption of microservices architecture in organizations is changing the way API gateways are used, as teams now need to make their own configuration changes without impacting other services. This leads to a bottleneck if operations teams have to configure the gateway for each service. A self-service API gateway empowers development teams to make their own configuration changes independently, removing this bottleneck and enabling organizations to benefit from Kubernetes and microservices.
