A Tour of Different API Management Architectures

A talk given by Liam Crilly from F5 Networks at the 2019 Platform Summit in Stockholm.

APIs are fueling innovation and digital transformation initiatives. With the explosive growth in APIs, developers and architects are employing different kinds of architectures to process API traffic. Attend this session to learn about commonly deployed API Management architectures.

Approach 1: Centralized API Lifecycle management where the data plane and control plane are tightly coupled .

Approach 2: “Hybrid” architectural approach that involves some processing at the edge by microgateways to process API calls between microservices.

Approach 3: Decoupled data plane and control plane resulting in no need for microgateways or databases to process API calls.
