<p>This project provides an API Gateway built on top of the Spring Ecosystem, including: Spring 5, Spring Boot 2 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.</p>

<p>To include Spring Cloud Gateway in your project, use the starter with a group ID of <code>org.springframework.cloud</code> and an artifact ID of <code>spring-cloud-starter-gateway</code>.
See the <a href="https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/">Spring Cloud Project page</a> for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you include the starter, but you do not want the gateway to be enabled, set <code>spring.cloud.gateway.enabled=false</code>.</p>

Spring Cloud Gateway is built on <a href="https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#learn">Spring Boot 2.x</a>, <a href="https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html">Spring WebFlux</a>, and <a href="https://projectreactor.io/docs">Project Reactor</a>.
As a consequence, many of the familiar synchronous libraries (Spring Data and Spring Security, for example) and patterns you know may not apply when you use Spring Cloud Gateway.
If you are unfamiliar with these projects, we suggest you begin by reading their documentation to familiarize yourself with some of the new concepts before working with Spring Cloud Gateway.

<p><strong>Route</strong>: The basic building block of the gateway.
It is defined by an ID, a destination URI, a collection of predicates, and a collection of filters. A route is matched if the aggregate predicate is true.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Predicate</strong>: This is a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function/Predicate.html">Java 8 Function Predicate</a>. The input type is a <a href="https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/server/ServerWebExchange.html">Spring Framework <code>ServerWebExchange</code></a>.
This lets you match on anything from the HTTP request, such as headers or parameters.</p>

<p>Clients make requests to Spring Cloud Gateway. If the Gateway Handler Mapping determines that a request matches a route, it is sent to the Gateway Web Handler.
This handler runs the request through a filter chain that is specific to the request.
The reason the filters are divided by the dotted line is that filters can run logic both before and after the proxy request is sent.
All &#8220;pre&#8221; filter logic is executed. Then the proxy request is made. After the proxy request is made, the &#8220;post&#8221; filter logic is run.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, the RemoteAddr route predicate factory uses the remote address from the incoming request.
This may not match the actual client IP address if Spring Cloud Gateway sits behind a proxy layer.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can customize the way that the remote address is resolved by setting a custom <code>RemoteAddressResolver</code>.
Spring Cloud Gateway comes with one non-default remote address resolver that is based off of the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For">X-Forwarded-For header</a>, <code>XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver</code> has two static constructor methods, which take different approaches to security:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver::trustAll</code> returns a <code>RemoteAddressResolver</code> that always takes the first IP address found in the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> header.
This approach is vulnerable to spoofing, as a malicious client could set an initial value for the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code>, which would be accepted by the resolver.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver::maxTrustedIndex</code> takes an index that correlates to the number of trusted infrastructure running in front of Spring Cloud Gateway.
If Spring Cloud Gateway is, for example only accessible through HAProxy, then a value of 1 should be used.
If two hops of trusted infrastructure are required before Spring Cloud Gateway is accessible, then a value of 2 should be used.</p>

</ul>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The primary scenario is to use the <code>fallbackUri</code> to define an internal controller or handler within the gateway application.
However, you can also reroute the request to a controller or handler in an external application, as follows:</p>

<p>In case of the request being forwarded to fallback, the Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Gateway filter also provides the <code>Throwable</code> that has caused it.
It is added to the <code>ServerWebExchange</code> as the <code>ServerWebExchangeUtils.CIRCUITBREAKER_EXECUTION_EXCEPTION_ATTR</code> attribute that can be used when handling the fallback within the gateway application.</p>

<p>The <code>redis-rate-limiter.replenishRate</code> property is how many requests per second you want a user to be allowed to do, without any dropped requests.
This is the rate at which the token bucket is filled.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>redis-rate-limiter.burstCapacity</code> property is the maximum number of requests a user is allowed to do in a single second.
This is the number of tokens the token bucket can hold.
Setting this value to zero blocks all requests.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>redis-rate-limiter.requestedTokens</code> property is how many tokens a request costs.
This is the number of tokens taken from the bucket for each request and defaults to <code>1</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A steady rate is accomplished by setting the same value in <code>replenishRate</code> and <code>burstCapacity</code>.
Temporary bursts can be allowed by setting <code>burstCapacity</code> higher than <code>replenishRate</code>.
In this case, the rate limiter needs to be allowed some time between bursts (according to <code>replenishRate</code>), as two consecutive bursts will result in dropped requests (<code>HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests</code>).
The following listing configures a <code>redis-rate-limiter</code>:</p>

<p>Rate limits bellow <code>1 request/s</code> are accomplished by setting <code>replenishRate</code> to the wanted number of requests, <code>requestedTokens</code> to the timespan in seconds and <code>burstCapacity</code> to the product of <code>replenishRate</code> and <code>requestedTokens</code>, e.g. setting <code>replenishRate=1</code>, <code>requestedTokens=60</code> and <code>burstCapacity=60</code> will result in a limit of <code>1 request/min</code>.</p>

<p>You can configure the gateway to create routes based on services registered with a <code>DiscoveryClient</code> compatible service registry.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To enable this, set <code>spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.enabled=true</code> and make sure a <code>DiscoveryClient</code> implementation (such as Netflix Eureka, Consul, or Zookeeper) is on the classpath and enabled.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, the gateway defines a single predicate and filter for routes created with a <code>DiscoveryClient</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default predicate is a path predicate defined with the pattern <code>/serviceId/**</code>, where <code>serviceId</code> is
the ID of the service from the <code>DiscoveryClient</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default filter is a rewrite path filter with the regex <code>/serviceId/(?&lt;remaining&gt;.*)</code> and the replacement <code>/${remaining}</code>.
This strips the service ID from the path before the request is sent downstream.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you want to customize the predicates or filters used by the <code>DiscoveryClient</code> routes, set <code>spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[x]</code> and <code>spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[y]</code>.
When doing so, you need to make sure to include the default predicate and filter shown earlier, if you want to retain that functionality.

<p>Spring Cloud Gateway provides a utility object called <code>ProxyExchange</code>.
You can use it inside a regular Spring web handler as a method parameter.
It supports basic downstream HTTP exchanges through methods that mirror the HTTP verbs.
With MVC, it also supports forwarding to a local handler through the <code>forward()</code> method.
To use the <code>ProxyExchange</code>, include the right module in your classpath (either <code>spring-cloud-gateway-mvc</code> or <code>spring-cloud-gateway-webflux</code>).</p>

</div>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All the features of Spring MVC and Webflux are available to gateway handler methods.
As a result, you can inject request headers and query parameters, for instance, and you can constrain the incoming requests with declarations in the mapping annotation.
See the documentation for <code>@RequestMapping</code> in Spring MVC for more details of those features.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can add headers to the downstream response by using the <code>header()</code> methods on <code>ProxyExchange</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can also manipulate response headers (and anything else you like in the response) by adding a mapper to the <code>get()</code> method (and other methods).
The mapper is a <code>Function</code> that takes the incoming <code>ResponseEntity</code> and converts it to an outgoing one.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>First-class support is provided for &#8220;sensitive&#8221; headers (by default, <code>cookie</code> and <code>authorization</code>), which are not passed downstream, and for &#8220;proxy&#8221; (<code>x-forwarded-*</code>) headers.</p>
