What is a primary role of NGINX as an API gateway?

To generate API documentation automatically

To store API response data in a database

To compile API code into executable binaries

To provide a single entry point for API requests, handling routing, authentication, and rate limiting

A media streaming company is building an API gateway with NGINX. The gateway must route requests to different backend services based on the URI path: /video requests go to the video service, /audio requests go to the audio service, and /metadata requests go to the metadata service. The administrator needs to configure NGINX to handle this routing. Which configuration approach should be used?

Configure routing in the stream context using the map module to select the backend based on the URI

Use multiple location blocks in the http context, each with a proxy_pass directive pointing to the appropriate backend service

Use the rewrite directive to change the URI and then proxy all traffic to a single backend that handles the routing

Use a single location block with an if statement that checks the URI and sets a variable for the backend
