The Application Programming Interfaces have become part of our digital consumer life: book restaurants, hotels and flights, buy online and view shipment tracking, these are some of the activities that can be completed exclusively thanks to the APIs.
The IT departments of companies and organizations, called to cooperate in close synergy with all business areas, must change their application portfolio. They should be able to offer both traditional applications useful for the maintenance and updating processes of legacy systems, together with less constrained and more innovative applications, and able to intervene easily on digital channels and in the areas of the company most affected by digital change.
Apigee Edge
is the Google platform for API Management.
It aims to integrate into existing communication channels established between applications and APIs. It works as a collector of requests flows allowing to manage heterogeneous environments.
A single communication interface makes it possible to expose and complex the client’s complex legacy architecture as a set of micro services, standardized, standardized, secure and available thanks to the scalability guaranteed by the system. Each element of the communication process between client and server, contained within Apigee, is in fact managed individually and takes the name of Resource and is configurable through graphical interfaces. In a very simple and intuitive way, it is possible to manage and release new versions and make them available immediately.
