Re: [Apiman-user] apiman Production Deployment

Thanks Eric, this helps a lot. We would go with Two "logical" API Gateways, as it gives more flexibility. One Doubt: 1. UI will be only one right - be @On Premise / On Cloud. With single "logical" API Gateway, more concerned over Cloud<->OnPremise Network glitches, may become bottleneck for lot of DB/ES calls (at least for one gateway).

Sorry for the delay in my response. I'll do my best to answer your questions. > 1. We want to have single API Manager for our consumers in "on-premise" > and "cloud" (AWS/Azure..etc). So, can we deploy couple of instance of " > Apiman Gateway" in on-premise and couple of on cloud ? If yes, what > would be possible deployment architecture ? (best place to put RDBMS > on-prem/cloud, best place to put keyclock server/ ES server..etc ?) There are a very large number of choices here! It depends a lot on exactly what you're trying to achieve. Two different configurations jump to mind. Config 1 - A single "logical" API Gateway In this configuration, every API Gateway node (regardless of whether it is on-prem or in the cloud) shares a common data store. This allows every node to service the *same* set of APIs. In this case the single gateway storage (database or elasticsearch) will need to be accessible by all gateway nodes. In the UI, there is only *one* gateway, so there are no extra steps that API developers need take when publishing APIs. However, every Gateway node must be able to access every back-end endpoint at the same URL. Config 2 - Two "logical" API Gateways In this config, the on-prem gateway node(s) and the in-cloud gateway node(s) each have their own gateway storage (database and/or elasticsearch). When set up this way, the API Manager must be configured with *both* gateways, and each gateway should have a sensible name, such as "On Premise Gateway" and "Cloud Gateway". In the UI, the API Developers will need to choose which of the two API Gateways their API should be published to (they must choose *at least one* gateway). This allows different gateways to service different APIs, offering more flexibility. > 2. production guide having wildfly version, however we would prefer > tomcat / vert.x, any specific guide changes for tomcat / vert.x ? We only have documentation for Wildfly at the moment, but if you wish to use Tomcat it should be relatively simple to extrapolate the documentation to that platform. The vert.x implementation is experimental at this point, and should not be used in production. > 3.

These materials will surely be coming in the future as the project matures.
