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.

Summary

In this chapter, a comprehensive API design-first process was covered from beginning to end. The chapter started by describing MRA's business scenario driving the need for more efficient and leaner process for implementing APIs. It was therefore explained why and how an API design-first process could effectively help organizations, such as MRA, gain greater speed, agility, and efficiencies.

The chapter continued by describing all of the steps required to realize such process—from how to make use of conceptual concepts such as OMESA's single-purpose and multi-purpose APIs to decide on what type of API to adopt and how to define an API's domain model, to the creation of an API definition and an API mock in Apiary based on API blueprints and the Markdown Syntax for Object Notation (MSON), creation and publication of an API using the Oracle API Platform...
