+## What is an API Gateway
+An API gateway is an API management tool that acts as a mid-layer service between a client and a number of backend services. Typically, the API gateway receives the clients' requests and processes them by summoning multiple microservices, aggregating the services, and returning the appropriate results.
+
+## What is Apache APISIX
+Apache APISIX is an open-source, dynamic and high-performance cloud-native API gateway that delivers the ultimate performance for all your APIs and microservices. Think of APISIX as a service bus that connects APIs and microservices in your cloud-native architecture.
+Apache APISIX facilitates interface traffic handling for Websites, Mobile and IoT applications by providing services such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, grayscale publishing, refined routing, current and speed limiting, and many more.

+
+### The problem APISIX solves
+  - Help enterprises to solve the difficulties in the transformation of traditional monolithic architecture, so as to achieve rapid iteration of business and products.
+  - Apache APISIX replaces NGINX and handles traditional north-south traffic. It also replaces Envoy to handle east-west traffic between services. 
+  - Handles Layer 4 and Layer 7 traffic: HTTP, HTTPs, TCP, UDP, MQTT, Dubbo, gRPC, etc.
+  - It can also be used as a [k8s ingress controller](https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller).
+  - Use IdP plugin as Zero-Trust gateway
+  - Easy to use: APISIX also consists of a built-in low-code dashboard that offers a powerful and flexible interface. You can write your own custom plugins or use custom load balancing algorithms.
+  - Apache APISIX supports multi-platforms, languages and protocols.
