(Part 6/N) Salesforce: Anypoint API Manager, API Governance, Runtime Manager
Salesforce Series: Configuration of Gateways and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in the Anypoint platform
In this episode, Krish explores the Anypoint Platform’s API Manager, Anypoint Service Mesh, Flex Gateway, and Mule Runtime. He also demonstrates how to install Mule Standalone and deploy an API using the Flex Gateway. Additionally, Krish configures the Mule Agent and explores API functional monitoring. He sets up servers and applications, verifies the application status, and configures the gateway and application URI. He explores API admin and upstream URL, troubleshoot endpoint and request routing, and confirm gateway routing. He also discusses API governance, managing versions and governance violations. He explore runtimes, alerts, private spaces, and load balancers.
In this final part of the conversation, Krish explores the configuration of gateways and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in the Anypoint platform. He then discusses governance and the runtime manager, followed by a demonstration of the visualizer for observability. Krish compares the visualizer to Datadog and provides insights into its capabilities. Finally, he summarizes the topics covered in the Anypoint platform series and hints at future topics for discussion.
Takeaways
The Anypoint Platform offers various tools for API management, including the API Manager and Anypoint Service Mesh.
The Flex Gateway and Mule Runtime are runtime options for deploying APIs.
Installing Mule Standalone allows for local development and testing of Mule applications.
API functional monitoring provides insights into the performance and health of APIs. Setting up servers and applications involves creating gateways, installing Mule, and configuring the application URI.
Verifying application status ensures that the application is running and accessible through the public endpoint.
Configuring the gateway and application URI allows for routing requests to the desired services.
API governance involves establishing rules and best practices for managing, monitoring, and maintaining APIs.
Managing versions and addressing governance violations ensures compliance with API standards and best practices.
Exploring runtimes, alerts, private spaces, and load balancers provides insights into managing and scaling API infrastructure. Gateways and VPCs are important components in the Anypoint platform for managing and making changes to the infrastructure.
Governance and the runtime manager provide control and monitoring capabilities for the platform.
The visualizer tool in Anypoint platform offers observability and monitoring features.
Datadog is a comparable tool to the visualizer, but Anypoint platform provides a more cost-effective solution.
