What is a proxy/gateway service in asp.net core?

edit

A proxy/gateway service in ASP.NET Core is a middleware component that receives incoming HTTP requests from clients and forwards them to backend servers or services. It acts as an intermediary between the client and the server, providing a secure and scalable way to distribute and manage network traffic. The proxy/gateway service can be used to implement features like load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, content caching, request routing, and security filtering. It is typically implemented as a reverse proxy server or an application gateway that leverages the features of the ASP.NET Core middleware pipeline to handle incoming requests and responses.
