Modern service connectivity platforms support declarative-driven automation , enabling API gateways to configure themselves based on those instructions , rather than wasting time building and maintaining scripts to manage the configuration of policies and endpoints .
Improved quality
An APIOps approach enforces API , security and governance standards throughout the pipeline , making it much easier to deliver consumable , highquality APIs .
When designing an API , an APIOps environment also enables developers to design , test and debug in one place . Developers will be able to generate unit tests for the service ’ s functionality and follow policies for governance and security .
They will also be able to automatically generate the declarative config for an API in the API design platform for rapid local checks before committing and pushing their code to the right repo . Each API is thus governed from the design phase onwards with instant local testing of design and governance available throughout .
To overcome these challenges , development teams are applying the proven principles of DevOps and GitOps to the API lifecycle and creating an APIOps environment .
programmatically invoke all the quality and governance checks available to the developers any time a PR is made . As a result , teams can configure the different checks to run in whichever order best suits the use case , pipeline stage and deployment target .
Completing the process , the operator can programmatically upload the declarative config to the various modules and runtimes in the service connectivity platform which automatically self-configures . The benefits of GitOps for continuous deployment are thus being applied to the full API lifecycle .
Used effectively , APIOps can deliver the levels of automation needed to accelerate API delivery and adoption .
The API build phase is also improved . With APIOps , teams can use the API platform ’ s CLI to
The end result will be better levels of customer service and a boost to the business bottom line . p
