工作中最常用的6种API网关：选对了性能提升10倍！

项目上线后API响应慢得像蜗牛，安全漏洞频发，运维同学天天找你"谈心"...今天就来聊聊工作中最常用的6种API网关，帮你选对网关，让系统性能提升10倍！

一、为什么需要API网关？

在开始介绍具体的API网关之前，我们先来理解为什么API网关如此重要。

1.1 微服务架构的挑战

// 微服务架构下的问题
public class MicroservicesChallenges {
    
    public void challenges() {
        System.out.println("=== 微服务架构的挑战 ===");
        System.out.println("1. 服务数量激增，管理复杂");
        System.out.println("2. 网络通信成本高");
        System.out.println("3. 安全控制困难");
        System0.println("4. 监控追踪不统一");
        System.out.println("5. 限流熔断难实现");
        System.out.println("6. 协议转换复杂");
    }
}

1.2 API网关的价值

API网关就像一个智能的"门卫"，为我们解决了这些问题：

// API网关的核心价值
public class ApiGatewayValue {
    
    public void coreValues() {
        System.out.println("=== API网关的核心价值 ===");
        System.out.println("统一入口：所有请求都经过网关");
        System.out.println("安全控制：认证授权统一处理");
        System.out.println("流量管控：限流、熔断、降级");
        System.out.println("协议转换：统一对外接口");
        System.out.println("监控追踪：统一日志和指标收集");
        System.out.println("负载均衡：智能路由分发");
    }
}

四、API网关的核心功能实现

4.1 限流功能

@Component
@Slf4j
public class RateLimitFilter implements GlobalFilter, Ordered {
    
    @Autowired
    private RedisTemplate<String, String> redisTemplate;
    
    @Override
    public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, GatewayFilterChain chain) {
        ServerHttpRequest request = exchange.getRequest();
        String clientIp = getClientIp(request);
        String key = "rate_limit:" + clientIp;
        
        // Lua脚本实现原子性限流
        String script = 
            "local current = redis.call('GET', KEYS[1])\n" +
            "if current == false then\n" +
            "  redis.call('SET', KEYS[1], 1)\n" +
            "  redis.call('EXPIRE', KEYS[1], 60)\n" +
            "  return 1\n" +
            "else\n" +
            "  current = tonumber(current)\n" +
            "  if current < 100 then\n" +
            "    redis.call('INCR', KEYS[1])\n" +
            "    return current + 1\n" +
            "  else\n" +
            "    return -1\n" +
            "  end\n" +
            "end";
        
        DefaultRedisScript<Long> redisScript = new DefaultRedisScript<>();
        redisScript.setScriptText(script);
        redisScript.setResultType(Long.class);
        
        return redisTemplate.execute(redisScript, Collections.singletonList(key))
            .flatMap(result -> {
                if (result > 0) {
                    return chain.filter(exchange);
                } else {
                    ServerHttpResponse response = exchange.getResponse();
                    response.setStatusCode(HttpStatus.TOO_MANY_REQUESTS);
                    String data = "{\"code\":429,\"message\":\"请求过于频繁\"}";
                    DataBuffer buffer = response.bufferFactory()
                        .wrap(data.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
                    response.getHeaders().add("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
                    return response.writeWith(Mono.just(buffer));
                }
            });
    }
    
    @Override
    public int getOrder() {
        return Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE;
    }
    
    private String getClientIp(ServerHttpRequest request) {
        HttpHeaders headers = request.getHeaders();
        String ip = headers.getFirst("X-Forwarded-For");
        if (ip == null || ip.isEmpty() || "unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {
            ip = headers.getFirst("X-Real-IP");
        }
        if (ip == null || ip.isEmpty() || "unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {
            ip = request.getRemoteAddress().getAddress().getHostAddress();
        }
        return ip;
    }
}

4.2 认证授权

@Component
@Slf4j
public class AuthGlobalFilter implements GlobalFilter, Ordered {
    
    @Autowired
    private AuthService authService;
    
    @Override
    public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, GatewayFilterChain chain) {
        ServerHttpRequest request = exchange.getRequest();
        
        // 获取认证信息
        String token = request.getHeaders().getFirst("Authorization");
        if (token == null || !token.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
            return unauthorizedResponse(exchange);
        }
        
        String jwtToken = token.substring(7);
        
        // 验证token
        try {
            AuthResult authResult = authService.verifyToken(jwtToken);
            if (!authResult.isValid()) {
                return unauthorizedResponse(exchange);
            }
            
            // 将用户信息传递给下游服务
            ServerHttpRequest.Builder builder = request.mutate();
            builder.header("X-User-Id", authResult.getUserId());
            builder.header("X-User-Roles", String.join(",", authResult.getRoles()));
            
            return chain.filter(exchange.mutate().request(builder.build()).build());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("认证失败", e);
            return unauthorizedResponse(exchange);
        }
    }
    
    @Override
    public int getOrder() {
        return Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE + 1;
    }
    
    private Mono<Void> unauthorizedResponse(ServerWebExchange exchange) {
        ServerHttpResponse response = exchange.getResponse();
        response.setStatusCode(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED);
        String data = "{\"code\":401,\"message\":\"认证失败\"}";
        DataBuffer buffer = response.bufferFactory()
            .wrap(data.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        response.getHeaders().add("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
        return response.writeWith(Mono.just(buffer));
    }
}

4.3 日志记录

@Component
@Slf4j
public class RequestLogFilter implements GlobalFilter, Ordered {
    
    @Override
    public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, GatewayFilterChain chain) {
        ServerHttpRequest request = exchange.getRequest();
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        
        String requestId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        String method = request.getMethodValue();
        String url = request.getURI().toString();
        String clientIp = getClientIp(request);
        
        log.info("[{}] {} {} from {}", requestId, method, url, clientIp);
        
        return chain.filter(exchange).then(
            Mono.fromRunnable(() -> {
                long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                long duration = endTime - startTime;
                
                ServerHttpResponse response = exchange.getResponse();
                HttpStatus statusCode = response.getStatusCode();
                
                log.info("[{}] {} {} completed with status {} in {} ms", 
                        requestId, method, url, statusCode, duration);
            })
        );
    }
    
    @Override
    public int getOrder() {
        return Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE;
    }
    
    private String getClientIp(ServerHttpRequest request) {
        // 获取客户端IP的实现
        return "127.0.0.1";
    }
}

五、性能优化实践

5.1 连接池优化

# Spring Cloud Gateway连接池配置
spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      httpclient:
        pool:
          max-idle-time: 30s
          max-life-time: 60s
          acquire-timeout: 45000
        response-timeout: 5s
        
  reactor:
    netty:
      http:
        client:
          pool:
            maxConnections: 1000
            pendingAcquireTimeout: 60s
            pendingAcquireMaxCount: 1000

5.2 缓存策略

@Service
@Slf4j
public class GatewayCacheService {
    
    @Autowired
    private RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate;
    
    // 路由配置缓存
    private final LoadingCache<String, RouteDefinition> routeCache = 
        Caffeine.newBuilder()
            .maximumSize(1000)
            .expireAfterWrite(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
            .build(this::loadRouteDefinition);
    
    /**
     * 获取路由配置（带缓存）
     */
    public RouteDefinition getRouteDefinition(String routeId) {
        try {
            return routeCache.get(routeId);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("获取路由配置失败: routeId={}", routeId, e);
            return null;
        }
    }
    
    private RouteDefinition loadRouteDefinition(String routeId) {
        // 从数据库或配置中心加载路由配置
        return new RouteDefinition();
    }
    
    /**
     * 批量预热缓存
     */
    public void preheatRouteCache(List<String> routeIds) {
        routeIds.forEach(routeId -> {
            try {
                routeCache.get(routeId);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("预热路由缓存失败: routeId={}", routeId, e);
            }
        });
    }
}

六、监控与告警

6.1 指标收集

@Component
public class GatewayMetrics {
    
    private final MeterRegistry meterRegistry;
    private final Counter requestCounter;
    private final Timer requestTimer;
    private final Gauge activeConnectionsGauge;
    
    public GatewayMetrics(MeterRegistry meterRegistry) {
        this.meterRegistry = meterRegistry;
        this.requestCounter = Counter.builder("gateway.requests")
                .description("API网关请求数")
                .register(meterRegistry);
        this.requestTimer = Timer.builder("gateway.request.duration")
                .description("API网关请求耗时")
                .register(meterRegistry);
        this.activeConnectionsGauge = Gauge.builder("gateway.active.connections")
                .description("API网关活跃连接数")
                .register(meterRegistry, new AtomicInteger(0));
    }
    
    public void recordRequest(String routeId, String method, int status, long duration) {
        requestCounter.increment(
            Tags.of(
                "route", routeId,
                "method", method,
                "status", String.valueOf(status)
            )
        );
        
        requestTimer.record(duration, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }
}

6.2 告警配置

# Prometheus告警规则
