Identity infrastructure · public sector
National identity API gateway, architected for a continent's load.
Challenge
A national identity management program needed an API gateway subsystem capable of handling verification traffic at population scale — hundreds of millions of citizens, thousands of relying-party integrators, and a mandate to run hybrid across on-prem and GKE.
Approach
Solutions architecture anchored on Apache APISIX. Hybrid deployment topology with failover between on-prem and GKE. Full operational cost model in NGN covering compute, network egress, and support. Documentation packaged for procurement and compliance review.
