API CONNECT

How many Gateway Services do you need?

A Gateway Service in IBM API Connect is the runtime that sits inside DataPower. DataPower in containers is designed to have a single gateway service, however in other form factors (RPM, VM, Physical) it is simple to add multiple gateway services to provide a logical separation. However just because you can have one gateway service or ten gateway services (No known technical limits) for a single provider org what is the correct way.

Replacing an API Gateway Service in a provider org

Sometimes a client configures multiple provider orgs to share a single Gateway Service and then later on decides to change their mind. However this requires modifying every single API. This script will replace the currently configured gateway service for all APIs in a provider org and replace it with a new gateway service.



Installing IBM CloudPaks with a Nexus Proxy Docker Registry

Nexus is a third party docker registry that allows users to configure it as a proxy. This means that when a request comes for an image it is downloaded directly and stored in nexus. If you are not wanting to use nexus as a proxy you can follow the instructions here. https://www.ibm.com/docs/es/cpfs?topic=plugin-bastion-host

Public API Monetization, Point of view.

I get it, you need to find revenue from APIs to justify the investment costs. Every customer I have seen with plans for Public APIs has a dream of monetizing them. However what is the real cost of monetization?
