Load Balancer vs Reverse Proxy vs API Gateway

Load Balancer vs Reverse Proxy vs API Gateway

In large-scale systems, Load Balancer, Reverse Proxy, and API Gateway have distinct roles. Load Balancers distribute network traffic across backend servers to enhance performance and reliability. Reverse Proxies add functionalities like SSL termination, security measures, and caching. API Gateways not only perform reverse proxy functions but also manage API security, rate limiting, and protocol translation.
