The announcement of the Business Application Platform also included the unveiling of a beta for API Gateway, Google’s Cloud’s new managed offering, as well as the general availability of AppSheet Automation.

For the record, API Gateway is designed to empower developers to manage and secure their APIs, which build on GKE, Compute Engine, App Engine and serverless backends like Cloud Run & Cloud Functions, without the need to write codes for various endpoints or worry over scaling or configuration of infrastructure. The new managed offering from Google Cloud leverages the capabilities of Envoy, and is equipped with features such as rate limiting, authentication and key validation.
