Stop Building API Gateways From Scratch — Use QvaSoft Gateway Instead

If you're running microservices, you already know the pain: routing, authentication, rate limiting, Swagger docs, load balancing — all glued together with custom middleware that nobody wants to maintain.

QvaSoft Gateway is an API Gateway built on .NET 10 that ships with a visual admin panel out of the box. No YAML pipelines, no Kubernetes operators — just download, run, and configure everything from a browser.

What Is QvaSoft Gateway?

It's a single binary (or Docker image) that sits in front of your microservices and handles:

Routing — Map any inbound path to any downstream service
Authentication — JWT (HMAC, RSA, JWKS), OpenID Connect, and IdentityServer — configure multiple providers simultaneously
Rate Limiting — Per-route throttling, client whitelists, and custom quotas
Load Balancing — Round Robin, Least Connection, and Sticky Sessions with built-in circuit breaker patterns
Swagger Aggregation — Unified OpenAPI docs for all your services through a single endpoint
Request Aggregation — Combine multiple downstream responses into one API call
Security — IP allow/block lists with CIDR notation, claims-based access control, and header transformations
Request Tracing — Monitor headers, body, and flow across services per route
Plugin System — Extend with custom delegating handlers. Drop a DLL, configure per route — done

Up and Running in 60 Seconds

With Docker:
docker run -p 4000:4000 asielhv/qvasoft-gateway

Or with .NET Runtime:
dotnet ApiGateway.dll

Add, edit, and delete routes visually
Configure authentication per route
Set up rate limiting with a few clicks
Manage Swagger endpoint aggregation
Build response aggregations from multiple services
