“API Economy”

• Foster Internal Reuse and Share • Realize the value of SOA with APIs, adding monitoring, access control, and importantly

monetization. SOA and APIs are complementary approaches.

• Unleash external developers Innovation • Let external developers innovate around your APIs and other APIs on the market

When APIs meet SOA

“APIs are the missing link for SOA success”

Managing APIs

• An API is a business capability delivered over the Internet to internal or external consumers • Network accessible function

• Available using standard web protocols

• With well-defined interfaces

• Designed for access by third-parties

• A Managed API is: • Actively advertised and subscribe-able

• Available with SLAs

• Secured, authenticated, authorized and protected

• Monitored and monetized with analytics

• Seeks feedback, ratings, usage

• API Publisher • Publishes, Promotes and encourages consumers to adopt APIs

• Determines usage patterns and how to best monetize asset

• Monitors and secures

• API Consumer • Understands the interface definition

• Subscribes and connects application to API

• Monitors own usage and cost basis

• Provides feedback and ratings

API Gateway Processing Flow

14

Multi-Tenancy• Creation of multiple domains (tenants)

• Each domain can have their own store or publish APIs to a central store - This is transparent to the consumers.

• Typical Use Cases: • Segmenting the publishers by business unit or partner and restricting editing rights by domain

• Create an API marketplace : one-stop store for domain APIs.

• API Cloud heavily leverages this functionality

15

API Store: Customization

16

Scalable Deployment Architecture

17

API Facade Pattern: Recommended Deployment

• API Gateway acts as simple reverse proxy, enforcing policies and collecting monitoring information

• Specific security checks/protection at edge of the network

• Invalid requests are stopped at the edge of the network

• Clear separation of concern between layers

• The mediation and API management layers scale independently

• You can combine the Façade and Mediation layers (if required) and run as a single architecture layer.
