As more websites evolve from a monolithic to microservice architecture, the number of individual services communicating with each other through APIs greatly increases. While it is possible for a client, which could be either a web browser, application or IoT device, to make requests to the relevant microservice directly, this approach can cause some problems as you begin to scale your website.

In this lightboard video, Jason Goode with IBM, visually explains some of the limitations you may run into when scaling a website without an API Gateway and using a Direct Client-to-Microservice Communication architecture instead.
