Welcome to the all-new API Academy - The Industry Authority for APIs and Microservices
The Industry Authority for APIs and Microservices
The API Academy provides expertise and best practices for the strategy, architecture, design and security of enterprise-grade APIs and microservices.
For over a decade, we’ve provided thought leadership to global organizations on designing APIs, implementing API security, and modernizing mission-critical systems with continuous API management and microservices.
We offer practical, field-tested guidance on how to use microservices and APIs to create service mesh patterns that optimize the security and scalability of multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premise IT infrastructures.
New 5G and IoT applications will demand unprecedented levels of API performance, security, and governance. Ask us how your peers are integrating APIs and Digital BizOps to get ready for the coming revolution.
Naturally, OAuth 2.0 is the shining star of the OAuth Toolkit (OTK), the prima donna that performs center stage in Layer7’s API security implementation. But waiting in the wings with a bouquet of slightly wilted flowers is an older standard who once shone just as brightly before all those mobile apps came along. His name is SAML. SAML
Is my Layer7 OAuth Toolkit (OTK) installation working? Valid question. Now that you’ve installed OTK on your API Gateway, and have access to OTK-specific policies and assertions in Policy Manager, it’s time to see OAuth in action. The quickest way to do this is through the pre-configured OAuth test clients and OAuth Manager.You can access the OAuth test
This is the second post in the blog series focusing on the OAuth Toolkit (OTK) kit. The first video was a more academic overview of the OAuth protocol and workflow. This time we take a look at how to install the OTK solution kit, and how the OTK integrates with the API Gateway to provide easy implementation of OAuth security for API endpoints. The
App Economy and Microservices In today’s app economy, APIs are playing an essential role in helping customers to achieve their digital transformation goals. In this process, enterprises are trying to convert their monolithic applications into more granular and autonomous microservices to support their business objective and also speed to market. Consul as Source of Truth In a microservices
Today we’re going to take a look at the Layer 7 API Management OAuth toolkit or OTK. For most customers, the OTK is not an optional Gateway add-on. It is an essential product used in the API management lifecycle for securing client authorization and authentication. The OTK implements security using a combination of the OAuth 2.0 (authorization) and
In our first TechTalk of 2020, hosts Bill and Aran introduce Jay Thorne, Head of Product Strategy at Broadcom’s Layer7 API Management. He talks about Building API-aware Service Meshes with Layer7 and Istio, and includes a demo plus a comprehensive Q&A session.
