Reverse proxy vs. API gateway vs. load balancer

"As modern websites and applications are like busy beehives, we use a variety of tools to manage the buzz. Here we'll explore three superheroes: Reverse Proxy, API Gateway, and Load Balancer.

🔹Reverse Proxy: change identity

• Fetching data secretly, keeping servers hidden.

• Perfect for shielding sensitive websites from cyber-attacks and prying eyes.

🔹API Gateway: postman

• Delivers requests to the right services.

• Ideal for bustling applications with numerous intercommunicating services.

🔹Load Balancer: traffic cop

• Directs traffic evenly across servers, preventing bottlenecks

• Essential for popular websites with heavy traffic and high demand.

In a nutshell, choose a Reverse Proxy for stealth, an API Gateway for organized communications, and a Load Balancer for traffic control. Sometimes, it's wise to have all three - they make a super team that keeps your digital kingdom safe and efficient."
