## What's APISIX?

APISIX is a cloud-native microservices API gateway, delivering the ultimate performance, security, open source and scalable platform for all your APIs and microservices.


## Install

APISIX Installed and tested in the following systems:

|OS          |Status|
|------------|------|
|CentOS 7    |√     |
|Ubuntu 18.04|√     |
|Debian 9    |√     |

You now have two ways to install APISIX: if you are using CentOS 7, it is recommended to use RPM, other systems please use Luarocks.

We will add support for Docker and more OS shortly.

### Install from RPM for CentOS 7

```shell
sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://openresty.org/package/centos/openresty.repo
sudo yum install -y openresty etcd
sudo service etcd start

sudo yum install -y https://github.com/iresty/apisix/releases/download/v0.4/apisix-0.4-0.el7.noarch.rpm
```

You can try APISIX with the [**Quickstart**](#quickstart) now.

### Install from Luarocks

#### Dependencies

APISIX is based on [OpenResty](https://openresty.org/), the configures data storage and distribution via [etcd](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd).

We recommend that you use [luarocks](https://luarocks.org/) to install APISIX, and for different operating systems have different dependencies, see more: [Install Dependencies](https://github.com/iresty/apisix/wiki/Install-Dependencies)

#### Install APISIX

```shell
sudo luarocks install apisix
```

If all goes well, you will see the message like this:
> apisix is now built and installed in /usr (license: Apache License 2.0)

Congratulations, you have already installed APISIX successfully.

## Quickstart

1. start server:
```shell
sudo apisix start
```

2. try limit count plugin

For the convenience of testing, we set up a maximum of 2 visits in 60 seconds,
and return 503 if the threshold is exceeded:

```shell
curl http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/apisix/routes/1 -X PUT -d value='
{
	"methods": ["GET"],
	"uri": "/index.html",
	"id": 1,
	"plugin_config": {
		"limit-count": {
			"count": 2,
			"time_window": 60,
			"rejected_code": 503,
			"key": "remote_addr"
		}
	},
	"upstream": {
		"type": "roundrobin",
		"nodes": {
			"39.97.63.215:80": 1
		}
	}
}'
```

```shell
$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html
