Configuration: Order of Policies Matter

When working on Auth0, make sure that the order in which you set the pipelines’ policies matches the order in which the policies are listed:
(gateway.config.yaml)
Order of policies matter

Metrics: Use epimetheus or prom-client Package

You can use either prom-client or epimetheus.
Personally, I found easier to use the epimetheus package in Gateway Express:

'use strict';

const epimetheus = require('epimetheus');

module.exports = function (gatewayExpressApp) {
  epimetheus.instrument(gatewayExpressApp, {url: '/metrics'});
};

Something to considered is that some of the metrics display by epimetheus and prom-client differ.
For example, with epimetheus the http request duration are in milliseconds:

http_request_duration_milliseconds{quantile="0.01",method="get",path="/api/",cardinality="one",status="200"} 1

while in prom-client, the http request duration are in seconds:

http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{service="api",instance="api-3432dc43c4-h3eeg",le="0.005",path="/metrics",method="GET",apiVersion="1.0.0",status="200"} 466081

Swagger

Express Gateway use express. I tried different swagger packages; however, the closest results was to display all the endpoints from the admin side of Express Gateway.
Then, I decided to check the code implemented in the restify-swagger-jsdoc and it did the trick. Here is the modified code:

'use strict';

const swaggerJSDoc = require("swagger-jsdoc");
const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");
const mime = require("mime-types");
const swaggerUiPath = path.dirname(require.resolve('swagger-ui'));
const publicPath = '/api'.replace(/\/+$/, '');

const swaggerSpec = swaggerJSDoc({
	swaggerDefinition: {
		info: {
			title: 'API documentation',
			version: '0.0.1',
			description: 'API documentation'
		},
		host: undefined,
		basePath: '/',
		schemes: undefined,
		tags: []
	},
	apis: [
		'../**/routes/*.js'
	]
});

module.exports = function (gatewayExpressApp) {

	gatewayExpressApp.get(`${publicPath}/swagger.json`, (req, res) => {
		res.setHeader('Content-type', 'application/json');
		res.send(swaggerSpec);
	});

	gatewayExpressApp.get(new RegExp(publicPath + '\/?$'), (req, res) => {
		res.setHeader('Location', `${publicPath}/index.html`);
		res.sendStatus(302);
	});

	gatewayExpressApp.get(new RegExp(publicPath + '\/(.*)$'), (req, res) => {
		fs.readFile(path.resolve(swaggerUiPath, req.params[0]), (err, content) => {
			if (err) {
				res.sendStatus(500);
				res.send(`File ${req.params[0]} does not exist`);
				res.end;
				return;
			}
			if (req.params[0] === 'index.html') {
				let jsonFileUrl =  `${req.secure ? 'https' : 'http'}`.concat('://').concat(`${req.headers.host}${publicPath}/swagger.json`); 
				content = new Buffer(content.toString().replace('url = "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"', `url = "${jsonFileUrl}"`)); 
			} 
			const contentType = mime.lookup(req.params[0]); 
			if (contentType !== false) { 
				res.setHeader('Content-Type', contentType); 
			} 
			res.write(content); 
			res.end(); 
		}); 
	}); 
};
