I’ve created several RESTful microservices and dockerized them. Now I want to have a web-based UI for them and the ability to create users and grant permissions to them to use some of the APIs.

I know that I need some kind of API gateway. My first thought was that I always could do that bruteforce way: create some django app that would serve UI and proxy all request to APIs by hand, but this seems very dull. Maybe there are some alternatives? I’ve ready about Tyk, but can’t find any information about the ability to add users and grant permissions to them.

I probably could create an application that would serve as API gateway and automate proxying of requests by writing some code that would model that. So for example I basically need a mapping between external urls to actual api urls and some authorization logic. Maybe there are already something like that?
