High-Performance FastAPI Gateway

A production-grade API Gateway built with FastAPI, designed for high throughput, low latency, and ease of extensibility.

🚀 Features

• High Performance: Built on Starlette and Pydantic for maximum speed.
• Rate Limiting: Redis-backed distributed rate limiting (Token Bucket).
• Caching: Smart response caching with Redis.
• Async Architecture: Fully asynchronous capability for IO-bound operations.
• Middleware: Request tracking, unique IDs, structured logging.
• Scalable: Dockerized and ready for Kubernetes orchestration.
