* New naming convention using webflux and webmvc
The new suffixes are gateway-server-web{flux|mvc} and gateway-proxyexchange-web{flux|mvc}.
This commit updates the starters to use gateway-server-web{flux|mvc} suffixes.
* Adds new spring-cloud-gateway-server-web{flux|mvc} modules.
These simply depend on the old ones. A warning is logged if not using the new module.
* Adds s-c-g-proxyexchange-{webflux|webmvc} modules
* Updates docs for s-c-g-{proxyexchange|server}-{webflux|webmvc} modules

= Spring Cloud Gateway
|
|
|
|
This project provides an API Gateway built on top of the Spring Ecosystem, including: Spring 6, Spring Boot 3 and Project Reactor. Spring Cloud Gateway aims to provide a simple, yet effective way to route to APIs and provide cross cutting concerns to them such as: security, monitoring/metrics, and resiliency.
|
|
|
|
There are two distinct flavors of Spring Cloud Gateway: *Server* and *Proxy Exchange*. Each flavor offers WebFlux and Web MVC compatibility.
|
|
|
|
- The Server variant is a full-featured API gateway that can be standalone or embedded in a Spring Boot application.
|
|
- The Proxy Exchange variant is exclusively for use in annotation based WebFlux or Web MVC applications and allows the use of a special `ProxyExchange` object as a parameter to a web handler method. |
