Implementing Oracle API Platform Cloud Service

By: Andrew Bell, Sander Rensen, Luis Weir, Phil Wilkins

Overview of this book

Implementing Oracle API Platform Cloud Service moves from theory to practice using the newest Oracle API management platform. This critical new platform for Oracle developers allows you to interface the complex array of services your clients expect in the modern world. First, you'll learn about Oracle’s new platform and get an overview of it, then you'll see a use case showing the functionality and use of this new platform for Oracle customers. Next, you’ll see the power of Apiary and begin designing your own APIs. From there, you’ll build and run microservices and set up the Oracle API gateways. Moving on, you’ll discover how to customize the developer portal and publish your own APIs. You’ll spend time looking at configuration management on the new platform, and implementing the Oauth 2.0 policy, as well as custom policies. The latest finance modules from Oracle will be examined, with some of the third party alternatives in sight as well. This broad-scoped book completes your journey with a clear examination of how to transition APIs from Oracle API Management 12c to the new Oracle API Platform, so that you can step into the future confidently.

Moving from API Management 12c to APIP CS

This chapter discusses the transition from Oracle API management suite 12c to the new Oracle API platform cloud service (APIP CS). It sets out to discuss some of the architectural differences between the two products and maps the tool usage between the two platforms. It also discusses a recommended approach for API migration. Unfortunately, there are no automated tools as of the time this book was written to migrate APIs between the two platforms. REST APIs could be used to create a tool for such a purpose and while this is potentially possible it would be complex and subject to severe limitations. These limitations are discussed later in this chapter.
