_x000D_ Ocelot is powerful library but that is used in.Net Core which helps us build resilient gateway and am not sure of similar Asp.net libraries that you can use in this case . If you are unable to find the suitable library or provider (cloud api gateway providers like azure , AWS ) and you have to write your own gateway api then you have to be aware of few things. Best practices for api gateway. Api gateway is very useful but at the same time it can be bottle neck. Your gateway should be resilient and highly available. Depending on your request load you may have to implement patterns like "Circuit breaker" , "Retry" and "bulk head" and for that you can use library called Polly. You can log your requests for debugging and performance monitoring. Security is another aspect but really depends how you implement authentication. You may use combination of following libraries to achieve your goal. https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly https://github.com/reactiveui/refit
