“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
• Accelerate Mobile applications development
• Driven by the need to consume internal data from mobile applications
• Build new Channels and Ecosystems
• Build new distribution channels to selected partners and customers
• Open APIs provides a platform on which they can build.
• Create new Business Models

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

API Management Platform

API Ecosystem Model

From SOA lessons learned, best practices roles


• API Creator
• Designs, Implements, manages and versions API
• Understand business and technical requirements
• Cares about usage and scaling
• 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.
