NGINX API Gateway has been a reliable and high-performance platform for our organization, providing an excellent balance between performance, flexibility, and operational efficiency while handling large API traffic very well and remaining lightweight and relatively cost-effective compared to some heavyweight enterprise solutions.

The best features of NGINX API Gateway are the authentication aspects, since it adds a barrier to your application before requests hit the main service, and also the load balancing aspects where it handles system downtimes by routing requests to the next available service.

While our overall experience with NGINX API Gateway has been positive, there are a few areas where I feel it could be improved.

I believe NGINX API Gateway could improve by offering token authentication in the normal version instead of only in NGINX Plus, as it currently requires migration to enterprise for that feature.
