# Industrial Specification: API Gateway

## 1. Technical Definition
A software component that acts as an entry point for API requests in inventory management systems.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1000 requests/second**. Failure boundary: **1024 concurrent connections at 85% CPU utilization**, Mechanism: **TCP/IP connection pool exhaustion leading to thread starvation and memory allocation failures**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Network packet loss exceeding 5% over 60 seconds | 8 | Request timeout cascade causing service unavailability | Implement circuit breaker pattern with 50ms timeout threshold and exponential backoff retry logic |
| JVM heap memory fragmentation above 40% | 8 | Garbage collection pause exceeding 2 seconds during peak load | Adopt G1 garbage collector with -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 and heap sizing at 4GB minimum |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | requests/second | Verified |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: How does this API Gateway enhance security for inventory management systems?
**A**: The API Gateway includes a dedicated Authentication Module that verifies all API requests, ensuring only authorized users and systems can access inventory data, while the Rate Limiter prevents abuse and DDoS attacks.

### Q: What makes this API Gateway suitable for computer and electronic manufacturing?
**A**: Designed for industrial environments, it handles high-volume API traffic typical in manufacturing with efficient routing, real-time logging for compliance, and scalability to integrate with ERP and inventory systems.

### Q: Can the API Gateway components be customized for specific manufacturing needs?
**A**: Yes, the modular BOM (Routing Engine, Authentication Module, Rate Limiter, Logging Component) allows customization to match unique workflows, protocols, and security requirements in electronic and optical product manufacturing.
