API Connectivity Manager Helps Dev and Ops Work Better Together

2022-11-04 KENNETH 0

API Connectivity Manager Helps Dev and Ops Work Better Together Cloud‑native applications are composed of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of APIs connecting microservices together. Together, these services and APIs deliver the resiliency, scalability, and flexibility that are at the heart of cloud‑native applications. Today, these underlying APIs and microservices are often built by globally distributed teams, which need to operate with a degree of autonomy and independence to deliver capabilities to market in a timely fashion. At the same time, Platform Ops teams are responsible for ensuring the overall reliability and security of the enterprise’s apps and infrastructure, including its underlying APIs. They need visibility into API traffic and the ability to set global guardrails to ensure uniform security and compliance – all while providing an excellent API developer experience. While the interests of these two groups can be in [ more… ]
