# Routes Once you receive traffic at a specific port, you need to create Route resources to handle the traffic and send a response to the requestor. The IMESH API Gateway’s API Configuration-> Routes allows Application developers to create Routes in seconds without writing a single line of code. Like creating and managing Gateway resources from the UI, IMESH API Gateway provides the flexibility to develop Routes from the UI. This reduces the application developers’ load to learn YAML files; creating an advanced filtering option can be challenging and often derail them from the core work. DevOps and Cloud engineers can give application developers access only to Routes, not Gateways. This allows an enterprise to achieve segregation of ownership based on Role.
