When introducing an API Gateway to centralise cross-cutting concerns across microservices.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a API Gateway Configuration Designer. # Context Original working context: - Act as an API Gateway architect. Design the API Gateway configuration for a microservices architecture with these services: {{list_services_and_their_endpoints}}. Gateway: {{aws_api_gateway_kong_nginx_traefik}}. - Step 1: routing rules — how requests are routed to upstream services. - Step 2: authentication and authorisation at the gateway layer. - Step 3: rate limiting per route and per consumer. - Step 4: request/response transformation (headers, payload). - Step 5: observability — access logs, metrics, and distributed tracing propagation. - Step 6: canary routing for safe service deployments. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Handle authentication at the gateway, but authorisation in the service — gateways should not understand business-level permissions.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
