Modern cloud services, mobile applications, social media and embedded software in the Internet of Things (IoT) are assembled from multiple bits of discrete code – building blocks (services, components, objects, containers, microservices) that comprise a system or application. For the building blocks to function together they must communicate, and exchange data based on rules that describe how they work. [Continue reading...]

Mutual certificates over SSL/TLS is a standard, “classical” and very popular way of securing REST APIs – but what about challenges in setting up this security model and how to address them properly? [Continue reading...]

One of the challenges that modern IT businesses face, is the regulation of communications between a service provider and a client. This regulation is often called Service Level Agreement. In API world specifically, SLAs can also be used as a measure to establish Service Level Objectives (SLO), when APIs must be constantly checked against operational and/or contractual metrics. [Continue reading...]

In my previous article I described few most notable service virtualization scenarios, their differences and benefits from the SOA Governance and APIs management perspective. In this article I will show how service virtualization concept in general and Sentinet product in particular, provide real benefits for the service and API versioning challenge. I will use the same service virtualization scenarios as before but this time applying virtualization concept to different service versions rather than different services. [Continue reading...]

Service virtualization is the concept that allows services and APIs to be exposed through an intermediary (or broker) application similarly to how classical reverse proxies forward messages to applications behind them. The difference between “primitive” reverse proxies and service virtualization intermediaries in that the latter are loaded with the intelligence and knowledge of what services and APIs they are actually exposing. This intelligence is what makes virtualization intermediaries a powerful and non-intrusive software instrument in the real-life service brokerage scenarios. [Continue reading...]
