Usage in the Current Project
IBM API to connect and interact
I had an amazing experience with respect to IBM API Connect.
The other feature was the capability of synchronizing data such as client ids and secrets. We had two seperate API connect deployments (Active and DR) and using the internal sub system backups of the main deployement and backup in the other cluster we were able to onboard one client and the same id and secret could be used in the other cluster, in case of enabling DR traffic.
Since most of our integrations were routed from the API Connect, it was a touch point for all the services for the organization so it was able to handle immense workloads.
It was also relatively easy to develop APIs and deploy it on the products. And with the role based access control we were able to make sure that only relevant users after review could publish the API's.
From the analytics perspective we onboarded the clients with perspective to business domain and region, so we were able to also have the stats on hand if the management team wanted to inquire the numbers for the calls from a certain region or domain or both.
