Ocelot

This section showcases basic usage of Ocelot as API Gateway.

Why Ocelot

Ocelot is a pluggable API gateway that you can install on top of ASP.net core projects. DIY gateways generally offer the following benefits:

• Open-source and free of charge
• Good for existing on-premise deployments without modifications to ecosystem
• Can easily be propagated to cloud environments (Low migration cost)

Pre-requisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Postman (Optional for testing)

Running Demo

# Windows Users and Root Linux Users
docker-compose up -d

# Non-root Linux Users

Importing Postman Payload

You can utilize the postman payload found on the root of this folder to test both downstream and gateway endpoints.
