Chris Phillips’ Blog - API, Integration and Governance

Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that provides many advantages. In this article I am going to describe how DataPower or any pod can be scaled out with a simple request. There are ways to solve this.

DataPower provides the facility to proxy WebSocket connections. This article is part three of a three part guide consisting of

• Part 1 - How to create a WebSocket Proxy in DataPower
• Part 2 - How you can use API Connect to secure your implementation
• Part 3 - How to socialise it via the Developer Portal
• Part 3.1 - How to socialise it via the Developer Portal giving your consumers the easiest way to use your websocket

I was wanting to hide sample code in my posts so the meat of the information could be more easily seen.

I went to W3Schools and they provided me with the sample I needed. However it does not work in Jekyll because of how it generates html from markdown.

Just a note to say that I have released the API Connect Profiler tool.

This tool was created to extract non runtime statistics from an API Connect 2018 system and as a sample for how to call API Connects provider APIs. It is a self contained Go Application so once the binary is downloaded no additional files are needed. This must be run from a windows/linux/macos system that has https connectivity to the API Manager node.
