Overview of API Management Architectures
A talk given by Karthik Krishnaswamy from NGINX at the 2019 Austin API Summit in Austin, Texas.
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 calls. Attend this session to learn about commonly deployed API Management architectures to process API traffic.
Type 1: Centralized data plane and control plane.
Type 2: “Hybrid” architectural approach that involves some processing at the edge by microgateways to process API calls between microservices.
Type 3: Decoupled data plane and control plane resulting in no need for microgateways or databases to process API calls.
