This document discusses API gateways as a solution for challenges that arise in microservices architectures. It describes how a monolithic architecture can become complex as services grow quickly. In a microservices architecture, clients could communicate directly with each service but this introduces problems around endpoint management, multiple requests, and refactoring difficulties. An API gateway provides a single entry point, routes requests to appropriate services, and aggregates results to address these issues. It then demonstrates Netflix Zuul, an open source API gateway, and provides a demo of its use with Eureka service discovery and routing between hello and goodbye microservices.
This document provides an overview of API gateways and their role in microservice architectures. It begins with a brief history of monolithic architectures and how microservices emerged as a solution. It then defines key concepts like APIs, gateways, and how they relate. The main points are:
1) An API gateway acts as a single entry point and centralizes request routing, protocol translation, and provides cross-cutting features like authentication, monitoring and security for internal microservices.
2) Gateways help reduce complexity and overhead by encapsulating microservices and allowing transformations, while also improving reusability and security.
3) Examples of API gateway tools are provided, as well as a proposed activity, before concluding
In this presentation, Łukasz explains what exactly API Gateway is and debates about many problems that it actually can solve. He uses AWS API Gateway as an example.

API Management 101: The New API Experience with WSO2WSO2
This document discusses API management using WSO2 and covers topics like securing APIs, controlling and limiting access, monitoring usage, and providing developer portals. It addresses common issues faced by service providers like restricting some services, checking call volumes, and mediating access. The solution is to use an API management platform to secure, control, monitor, and govern APIs. Key capabilities covered include authentication, rate limiting, analytics, documentation, versioning, monitoring, and continuous integration/delivery of APIs.
This document discusses the technical challenges of building and maintaining APIs at a global scale. It notes that APIs must be highly available, globally distributed with no downtime, rigorously monitored, and secure from attacks. It outlines Apigee's approach of using services like Zookeeper, Cassandra, and analytics platforms to distribute data and configurations globally, implement features like quotas and abuse detection, and manage high volumes of data and traffic with five-nines availability. The document also stresses the importance of managing the API platform itself with the same availability and reliability standards as the APIs.
APIdays Singapore 2019 - API Gateway in a Nutshell, Allan Chua, Solution and ...apidays
API Gateway in a Nutshell provides an overview of API gateways. API gateways are introduced to solve issues that arise from directly connecting microservices, such as tight coupling between services and multiple points of failure. An API gateway acts as a single entry point, providing benefits like centralized logging, authentication, rate limiting, and faster response times through response aggregation. It allows defining variations like using a cloud provider's gateway, an open source gateway, or building your own. Containers are suited for predictable traffic and legacy applications, while serverless functions are better for unlimited traffic and short, quick processing tasks. Potential downsides of an API gateway include being a single point of failure and adding latency.
Centralization and automation of containerized service (microservices) management with the ability to control policies consistently across several service meshes increases visibility and control over all API traffic while enabling enterprises to independently and rapidly deliver on innovation without the bottlenecks. Check out our demo to see how Axway and AMPLIFY Central provide packaged maturity for service mesh management along with centralized policy management of APIs and Microservices that run in the cloud and/or on-premises infrastructure.

How do async ap is survive in a rest world Red Hat
The document discusses how asynchronous APIs can survive in a REST-based world. It describes how Async APIs use an event-driven approach compared to the request-reply model of REST. The AsyncAPI specification aims to describe event-driven APIs similarly to how OpenAPI describes REST APIs. The document demonstrates how Async and REST APIs can work together using an example setup with an API gateway, manager, and message broker to connect an HTML page and Node.js client via published topics.
This document discusses how retailers can harness the power of APIs to create an omni-channel retail experience for customers. It describes how APIs allow retailers to build flexible apps across mobile and social channels and extract data from legacy systems. A live demo will show how APIs power applications that allow customers to browse products, visualize products in different environments, and get personalized product recommendations based on preferences. Harnessing APIs and data in this way allows retailers to provide a unified customer experience across all channels.
Any new digital service being built today also needs to be exposed as an API. This is the core of agile, successful digital businesses. It forces digital organizations to create new APIs while consuming many other APIs in the process, effectively being part of the global API supply chain.
However, many API strategies fail, mostly due to underestimating the full lifecycle of APIs from conceptualization to engineering to production and evolution. Getting optimal ROI from APIs requires understanding the nuances of building APIs and finding the right balance between what you build and reuse. This slide deck discusses:
• How we develop APIs today and commonly noticed problems
• The different types of APIs in an organization and their nuances
• 5 key elements for developing enterprise-grade APIs for the enterprise
• The safest bet for a successful API strategy

Journey to APIs and Microservices: Best PracticesDeepak Nadig
Agility is enabled by systems that are flexible and extensible.
IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Technology defines Flexibility as the ease with which a system or component can be modified for use in applications or environments other than those for which it was specifically designed. and Extensibility as the ease with which a system or component can be modified to increase its functional capacity.
As customer needs evolve, flexibility helps with composing features and applications rapidly from using API, and extensibility helps in introducing the required changes quickly by making changes in services.
The challenge many companies have today is that they have built systems primarily as monoliths during a stage of their evolution, or have several services but they are tightly coupled. Satisfying a customer need even though the functionality already exists can take significant effort and cost.
Companies are therefore moving to APIs and microservices to address this business imperative. While many initiate this journey, most of them don’t end up with the intended outcomes - they falter or fail and go through many iterations.
This talk will share principles, best practices and approaches - across architecture, organizational and cultural - that have been applied in transforming companies such as eBay, PayPal and Intuit to APIs and Microservices.
T5 Systems' API Monitizer allows API providers to monitor usage analytics, define pricing plans, and manage subscriptions and payments from API developers. It provides analytics dashboards and alerts, enables subscription and payment processing, and includes SDKs for integration. The system can integrate natively with popular API gateways like CA API Gateway and IBM Datapower.
Sean Maritz, Technical Solutions Architect for NGINX ANZ, took to the stage at the Gartner AADI Summit 2019 Exhibitor Showcase Theatre to shed some light into typical deployment patterns for API Gateways.

Irfan Baqui, Senior Engineer at LunchBadger, breaks down the important role of the API Gateway in Microservices. Additionally, Irfan covers how to get started with Express Gateway, an open source API Gateway built entirely on Express.js. Originally presented at the San Francisco Node Meetup.
This document discusses API management and deployment patterns. It begins by explaining why APIs are important for breaking down silos, increasing collaboration, and generating new revenue streams. The document then discusses using an API gateway for functions like TLS termination, authentication, authorization, routing, and load balancing. It presents three common deployment patterns: edge gateway, two-tier gateway, and microgateway. The edge gateway handles all traffic at the edge. The two-tier gateway separates security and routing concerns. The microgateway is team-owned and focuses on a specific API. It concludes by noting the best pattern depends on an organization's environment and structure.
This document discusses Adobe API Management and how it can help businesses realize value from their APIs. It outlines how API Management automates access control, versioning, analytics, documentation and other functionality that would otherwise require manual implementation. The document also provides examples of API monetization strategies like transactional payments, subscriptions, marketplaces and partnerships. It highlights the speed, simplicity and scalability of Adobe's API Management platform and demonstrates its request flow and user interface.
What is an API-first enterprise? Where do APIs fit into modern application architecture? Are they just new terms for SOA? Presentation from Apigee's City Tour in Paris 23 June 2016.
This was presented by me in AWS Meetup in Riyadh. I spoke about core dimensions of API management and Amazon API Gateway. It covers API fundamentals as well as security and architecture principles using AWS services.
This document discusses using NGINX as an API gateway for microservices architectures. It describes how NGINX can provide essential API gateway functions like API routing, authentication, overload protection, and request tracing in a lightweight and efficient manner. The document advocates for separating the roles of a secure proxy and API gateway to handle north-south and east-west traffic respectively. Key API gateway capabilities of NGINX like API routing, authentication using API keys or JWT, and request tracing are demonstrated with code examples.
Practical Application of API-First in microservices developmentChavdar Baikov
Building complex applications using microservices-based architecture naturally involves a great amount of remote communication based on RESTful APIs. The REST APIs represent the contract of the microservice, with both external and internal stakeholders. Microservices, with poorly designed and unstable APIs, might pose a challenge for
the whole application stack, for both adoption and maintenance.
In this session, we will dig into the benefits of the API-First development approach, for designing stable, clean, and robust microservice APIs. We will showcase a practical example of how API-First development can be streamlined for developing and consuming Spring-based Java microservices, leveraging mostly free and open source technologies.
A Hitchhikers Guide to Cloud Native API GatewaysQAware GmbH
O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference Europe, November 2019, Berlin: Talk by Mario-Leander Reimer (@LeanderReimer, Principal Software Architect at QAware)
=== Please download slides if blurred! ===
Abstract: Good APIs are the centerpiece of any successful digital product. But for complex systems with many API consumers, the proper management of these APIs is of utmost importance. The API gateway pattern is well established to handle concerns like routing, versioning, rate limiting, access control, or diagnosability in a cloud native application architecture. Mario-Leander Reimer guides you to cloud native API gateways.
You’ll take a closer look at the cloud native API gateway ecosystem: Ambassador, Gloo, Tyc, KrakenD, etc., and find out which one of these is right for your next project. Leander explains the API gateway pattern with its possible usage scenarios and defines a criteria catalog with essential characteristics in order to compare the current ecosystem. And he puts some of them to the test and demonstrates their usage live and uncut.
API Gateways are going through an identity crisisChristian Posta
API Gateways provide functionality like rate limiting, authentication, request routing, reporting, and more. If you've been following the rise in service-mesh technologies, you'll notice there is a lot of overlap with API Gateways when solving some of the challenges of microservices. If service mesh can solve these same problems, you may wonder whether you really need a dedicated API Gateway solution?
The reality is there is some nuance in the problems solved at the edge (API Gateway) compared to service-to-service communication (service mesh) within a cluster. But with the evolution of cluster-deployment patterns, these nuances are becoming less important. What's more important is that the API Gateway is evolving to live at a layer above service mesh and not directly overlapping with it. In other words, API Gateways are evolving to solve application-level concerns like aggregation, transformation, and deeper context and content-based routing as well as fitting into a more self-service, GitOps style workflow.
In this talk we put aside the "API Gateway" infrastructure as we know it today and go back to first principles with the "API Gateway pattern" and revisit the real problems we're trying to solve. Then we'll discuss pros and cons of alternative ways to implement the API Gateway pattern and finally look at open source projects like Envoy, Kubernetes, and GraphQL to see how the "API Gateway pattern" actually becomes the API for our applications while coexisting nicely with a service mesh (if you adopt a service mesh).
APIs are a key foundation of digital transformation. APIs are the “reception” and front line of defence of your business. Therefore, it’s important to understand how and when APIs can assist your enterprise’s digital transformation in order to reap all the benefits of your API ecosystem. This presentation will discuss API management designs and best practices, their benefits and drawbacks and how APIs can assist an enterprise in their digital transformation journey. It will discuss the following areas:
- Exploring the API management domain and its role in digital transformation
- Identifying the key performance indicators to evaluate your API strategy
- Building the right solutions architecture
- Understanding what it takes to make your API ecosystem future-proof

Abstract: Good APIs are the center piece of any successful digital product and cloud native application architecture. But for complex systems with many API consumers the proper management of these APIs is of utmost importance. The API gateway pattern is well established to handle and enforce concerns like routing, versioning, rate limiting, access control, diagnosability or service catalogs in a microservice architecture. So this session will have a closer look at the cloud native API gateway ecosystem: Ambassador, Gloo, Kong, Tyc, KrakenD, et.al. But which one of these is the right one to use in your next project? Let's find out. Leander will start off by briefly explaining the API gateway pattern and derive a simple criteria catalog. He will then continue by comparing and showcasing the most promising ones.
This document summarizes an API trends and use cases presentation given by Wout Geldhof from Axway and Emmanuel Dupouy from SmartWave. It discusses how APIs have become ubiquitous due to digital transformation needs. Typical integration use cases presented include API gateways for security, service brokers for cloud integration, API governance for developer onboarding, and token mediation for authentication. Case studies demonstrate API solutions for digitalizing customer relationships, securing government access, and migrating services from an ESB to an API gateway. Challenges discussed include ensuring API management is suitable for any integration case and requiring new competencies to manage APIs.
Agile software development with its short life cycles and frequent updates poses high risks with respect to breaking existing functionalities and, as a consequence, may compromise the correctness of an application. We discuss the issues and challenges that arise in the context of the data-intensive business applications developed by abuscom and show how certain risks can be mitigated by our approach to API level regression testing.
