Gateway API is a non-public DBM API used to generate routing data for Nginx in distributed deployments.
- Resolve host/instance routing targets from platform metadata.
- Produce configuration inputs used by automation scripts.
Gateway API is consumed by internal tooling (IoT Nginx Updater), not by end users.
- Keep endpoint private.
- Use mTLS/TLS and network-level restrictions.
- Pair with Node API when wildcard-domain routing is enabled.
