> Since April 2018, we have introduced the implementation of the [API Gateway pattern](http://microservices.io/patterns/apigateway.html) and [Backend-For-Front-End (BFF) pattern](https://samnewman.io/patterns/architectural/bff/) in eShopOnContainers architecture, so you can filter and publish simplified APIs and URIs and apply additional security in that tier while hiding/securing the internal microservices to the client apps or outside consumers. These sample API Gateways in eShopOnContainers are based on [Ocelot](https://github.com/ThreeMammals/Ocelot), an OSS lightweight API Gateway solution explained [here](http://threemammals.com/ocelot). The deployed API Gateways are autonomous and can be deployed as your own custom microservices/containers, as it is currently done in eShopOnContainers, so you can test it even in a simple development environment with just Docker engine or deploy it into orchestrators like Kubernetes in AKS or Service Fabric.
