API Gateway training objectives

  • Master the fundamentals of API Gateways in a certified professional training
  • Develop skills to configure an API Gateway in a company
  • Design secure API flows tailored to microservices
  • Implement routing and authentication with Node.js and REST APIs
  • Optimize traffic management for scalable architectures
  • Deploy an API Gateway in production with professional practices

API Gateway curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Introduction to API Gateway: Fundamentals and Architecture (Node.js, REST concepts)

Discover the essential principles of API Gateways, their central role in modern microservices, through interactive presentations and practical diagrams. Install Node.js and an open-source gateway like Express Gateway, configure your first environment, test simple API calls with Postman. Analyze real company cases using these tools to centralize flows, perform guided exercises to understand scalability and maintenance benefits, obtain a personal diagram of your initial setup.

Module 2 : API Gateway Configuration: Routing and Proxies (REST APIs, Node.js)

Dive into advanced API route configuration with Node.js, integrate proxies for microservices, through hands-on workshops. Define dynamic routing policies, manage request transformations, test in real-time with tools like curl and Swagger. Explore real examples of exposed REST APIs, fix common errors, produce a functional config file for a fictional company project, consolidate your skills with interactive group debugging.

Module 3 : API Gateway Traffic Management: Load Balancing and Caching (Microservices)

Learn to manage traffic with load balancing and caching in an API Gateway for microservices, through load simulations. Implement rate limiting and circuit breakers in Node.js, monitor performance with integrated dashboards, analyze peak traffic scenarios. Develop strategies tailored to professional needs, test on virtual clusters, generate performance reports, apply these techniques to an e-commerce case study for optimal scalability.

Module 4 : API Gateway Security: Authentication and Protection (REST APIs, Microservices)

Strengthen the security of your API Gateways with OAuth, JWT, and anti-DDoS protections, using Node.js for microservices. Configure secure middlewares, integrate SSL certificates, simulate attacks to test defenses. Study real breaches avoided by these tools, implement comprehensive audit logs, deploy a secure gateway on a test environment, validate your implementations through peer audits for immediate professional expertise.

Module 5 : API Gateway Deployment and Optimization: Production and Monitoring (Node.js, all tools)

Finalize your mastery by deploying an API Gateway in production with Docker and Kubernetes, optimize for microservices via Node.js. Integrate monitoring tools like Prometheus, analyze advanced metrics, migrate a monolith to a gateway. Complete a full capstone project with REST APIs, present your deliverables in a company pitch, receive expert feedback, leave with a concrete portfolio and certifying certificate to boost your career.

How API Gateway skills are assessed

  • Daily interactive quizzes on API Gateway concepts
  • Hands-on project to deploy a complete gateway
  • Final assessment through professional certification scenario

How the API Gateway course is taught

  • Hands-on workshops 70% of the time with Node.js and real tools
  • Case studies of companies using API Gateways in microservices
  • Individualized support in small groups of max 10 participants
  • Post-training resources: videos, source codes, alumni community

API Gateway training: access and practical arrangements

The Training API Gateway - Mastering Centralized API Management program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training API Gateway - Mastering Centralized API Management program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your API Gateway training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
