+## What is an API Gateway?
+An API gateway is an API management tool that acts as a mid layer service
between a client and a number backend services. Typically, the API gateway
receives the clients requests and processes it by summoning multiple
microservices, aggregating the services & returning the appropriate results.
+
+## What is Apache APISIX
+Apache APISIX is an open source, dynamic, high-performance, and scalable
7-layer proxy. It is a cloud-native API gateway, that delivers the ultimate
performance for all your APIs and microservices. Think of APISIX as a service
bus that connects APIs and microservices in your cloud-native architecture.
Review comment:
This is fine, but the language here could be kept layman here I guess.
Something like `7-layer proxy` might intimidate people when used with words
like dynamic, high-performance etc. My suggestion would be to save it for later
in the sentence (or maybe leave it out entirely) and just use `API Gateway`
here.
