Lura Project

Lura is an API Gateway framework designed to simplify the interaction between client applications and complex backend microservices. It acts as an intermediary, allowing clients to query a single endpoint that then aggregates, transforms, and filters data from multiple source services. This approach significantly reduces the burden on client applications, which often need to combine data from various APIs and then extract only specific fields.

The core value proposition of Lura lies in its ability to abstract away backend complexity, providing clients with tailored responses. For instance, a mobile app needing data from four different backend calls can instead make a single call to a Lura-powered gateway. Lura then handles the multiple backend requests, merges the data, and returns only the necessary fields, leading to smaller payloads and faster client-side processing. Its extendable nature, supporting various middlewares and plugins, allows for advanced functionalities like security and custom logic, making it a versatile tool for modern API architectures.
