API GATEWAY MANAGER

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

Digital Transformation requires organizations to develop andprovide new offerings and business processes more rapidly anddynamically. APIs are the building blocks of Digital Transforma-tion. They help to connect systems, data and people, build newsolutions and seize new business opportunities. Organizations are therefore already using a variety of APIs andMicroservices in multi-tiered, distributed API Gateway environ-ments. Availability and reliability of those API Services, as well asthe API gateway infrastructure is directly connected to the custo-mer experience and therefore to the success or failure of the bu-siness process. Continuously enhancing the services requires a quick and se-amless migration of API versions across multiple stages (i.e. development, test, production), as well as a comprehensible ver-sion control and overview of the API version being used on each gateway instance.

• Easy Monitoring and Rapid Response: • Continuous monitoring and automatic alerts in the event of

a problem ensure rapid detection of unstable services and instant implementation of the necessary countermeasures.

• Quick and Reliable Migration of New APIs:

• Simple One-Click Migration enables reliable and secure API migration to other instances.

• If a migration fails, a backup was automatically created to restore the previous version of the API.

• Service Management in Git:• API management in Git ensures improved and transpa-

rent versioning, enabling automatic deployment and a continuous DevOps process.

FEATURES

APIIDA API Gateway Manager complements Layer 7 API Gateway, the leading API Management solution by our partner Broadcom (formally CA Technologies). It enables organizations to easily and reliably monitor and manage multiple Layer 7 API Gateway instances in distributed environments.

Features such as Health Check, Alarming and a powerful Dashboard help to quicklyrespond to problems and speed mean time to repair, thus maintaining critical businessprocesses. One-Click Migration and Service Management automate the migration ofAPIs between instances, a task that was previously carried out manually and prone toerror, thus ensuring a continuous DevOps process and accelerate new servicedeployments.

• Secure Migration: Migration of new service versions with the option of easily reverting back to previous versions in the event of migration problems.

APIIDA API Gateway Manager offers an easy means of ma-naging and monitoring existing Layer 7 API Gateways instan-ces, using a configurable dashboard.

Dashboard and AlertsAPIIDA API Gateway Manager instantly creates anoverview of the current status of managed Layer 7 API Gateways and services. The health metric is calculated on the basis of response times, access failures and other metrics. They also serve as a basis for initiating automatic alerts in the event of a problem (by e-mail, Slack, Mattermost or Webhook). The status of all instances and services is clearly summarized in a Quick Health Check ma-trix view. A freely configurable dashboard can be individually tailored to create the desired view.

One-Click MigrationA smart service analysis automatically detects changes between different versions of an API and directly incorporates them in the desired environ-ment. Wildcards are automatically placed for vari-ous backend systems and comments are automatically ad-ded to the service for each version. Automatic versioning also makes it clear, which service version is running on which API Gateway.

Version RollbackPermanent monitoring helps to quickly identifyfaulty services. Thanks to version history and au-

tomatic backups, previous versions of an API can be restored manually thus minimizing downtime.

Service ManagementBy closely integrating Git version management,previous versions can easily be published. Cate-

gorization is possible when importing new versions. Optional, automatic publication also enables the Layer 7 API Gateway to be easily connected to existing DevOps solutions, if neces-sary.

Easy Installation and ConfigurationAPIIDA API Gateway Manager is installed as avirtual appliance or docker image. This ensures

easy installation into the existing infrastructure. Existing ga-teways and their services are instantly integratedby entering the address and login details.
