Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A.
API Gateways primarily handle incoming API requests and route them to the appropriate microservices. They may also aggregate responses from multiple services.
B.
API Gateways can use service discovery but are not primarily used for this purpose in cloud-native architectures.
C.
API Gateways are generally not responsible for data replication; this is often handled by databases or other storage services.
D.
While API Gateways can contribute to fault isolation by routing around failed services, this is not their primary function.
