Gateway Offloading

Offload shared or specialized service functionality to gateway proxy. 

When to use this pattern?  

• Shared application deployment features (SSL,…)  

• Common feature across application deployments that may have different resource requirements  

• Move responsibility to another team 

Considerations  

• High availability  

• Scalability  

• Only offload features that are used by the entire application  

• Never offload Business Logic  

• Correlation IDs to track transactions
