Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - API Gateways Microservices Code Review - E-Commerce App

The video tutorial covers the implementation and configuration of API gateways in an ecommerce application. It focuses on two main components: the Ocelot API Gateway and the aggregator microservices. The Ocelot API Gateway is configured using JSON files to reroute client requests to appropriate microservices. The aggregator microservices collect data from various internal services and aggregate them into a single response for the client, implementing the service aggregation pattern. The tutorial also discusses the use of Docker for containerization.

What role do Docker files play in the context of the microservices mentioned?

What are the HTTP methods exposed by the catalog API through the API gateway?

How does the shopping aggregator microservice improve communication efficiency between the client and backend services?
