Thanks all for the reply and insights! I am going to investigate the grpc 
passthru feature which is supported by the API gateway product.
Btw, I wrote a simple Arrow Flight Server in python, but I couldn't figure out 
how to call it from grpcurl (all my attempts failed), is that even possible?

Hi,

I'm not sure about integration with the services you mentioned but assuming 
some responsibilities of the API Gateway are handling authentication and load 
balancing, you can implement a flight proxy by creating a service that 
implements FlightProducer interface.
The service can access headers for validation if needed and redirect vectors it 
receives to the designated flight server using another flight client.

Hope it helps
