Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.
sync-chain-too-deep
Every consecutive synchronous hop from this entry point spends part of the stated p95 latency budget, and the chain's failures multiply. More than three hops is a budget nobody is tracking.
- — all of these hold:
- — the design requirement `latency.p95Ms` has a value
- — the longest chain of synchronous calls starting at the node is more than 3 hops long

# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json # API Gateway: the API hosting front door, sold as a Traditional series and a Cloud-native series ("Product # overview"). "What is Cloud-native API Gateway" lists HTTPS certificates, IP blacklists and whitelists and # JWT, OIDC and IDaaS authentication under security authentication, throttling under traffic governance, and # REST, HTTP and WebSocket as the API types, which is why tls and rateLimiting are on.
