An API management solution, like <a href="/en/technologies/jboss-middleware/3scale">Red Hat 3scale API Management</a>, provides dependability, flexibility, quality, and speed. To achieve these goals, and ensure that both public and internal APIs are consumable and secure, an API management solution should provide access control, rate limits, and usage policies at the minimum. Most API management solutions generally also include the following capabilities:</p><ul><li><p><strong>A developer portal.</strong> A developer portal is a common best-practice for API management.

This approach is not without its challenges, though.</p><p>The key technical challenge to forming microservices is breaking up larger systems into their smaller components. APIs allow these smaller components to connect with data sources and each other.</p><p>Another challenge presented by a microservices architecture is how to coordinate the many frequently changing microservices. Service discovery makes this easier. API management services provide the necessary discovery mechanisms to ensure that available microservices can be found and documentation on how to use them is shared through the developer portal.</p><p>Microservices require an integrated approach to security. Security mechanisms differ depending on the type of API: external-facing services require different security mechanisms than internal ones. For less mission-critical APIs, simple protection with API keys is usually sufficient. For external or critical APIs, a more secure approach, like OAuth, will be required.</p></div></div><div class="rh-group-footer" ><div class="rh-group--layout" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><span class="rh-cta--component" data-rh-cta-type="secondary" ><a class="rh-cta-link" href="/en/topics/security/api-security" title="article | what is API security?" data-analytics-linkType="cta" >Read more about API security<span aria-hidden="true"><svg data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 36 36"><title>Icon-Red_Hat-Directional-A-Black-RGB</title><path d="M29.74 17.95v-.1a.9.9 0 0 0-.03-.086c-.01-.025-.016-.05-.027-.075a.72.72 0 0 0-.148-.223l-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5a.75.75 0 1 0-1.06 1.06l2.86 2.86 2.86 2.86H7a.75.75 0 0 0 0 1.5h20.19l-2.22 2.223-3.5 3.5a.75.75 0 1 0 1.06 1.06l3.5-3.5 3.5-3.5c.007-.007.01-.016.016-.023a.738.738 0 0 0 .147-.22l.005-.02a.76.76 0 0 0 .045-.236.23.23 0 0 0 .007-.03c0-.017-.008-.032-.01-.05z"/></svg></span></a></span></div></div></div></div>  <div class="rh-group--layout" data-rh-content-size=xl data-rh-layout="stacked" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><header class="rh-standard-header--component" ><div class="rh-standard-header-container"><h2 class="rh-standard-header-headline-medium pfe-jump-links-panel__section" id="what-api-management-does" nav-label="What API management does" >What does an API management platform do?</h2></div></header><div class="rh-generic--component" ><p dir="ltr">API management platforms are made of several key components that provide end-to-end services to facilitate application integration, management, security, and monitoring of APIs.</p><p dir="ltr">An <a href="/en/topics/api/what-does-an-api-gateway-do" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="789052bf-4cc3-4a0b-b9f9-d0d2b6cbbadf" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="What does an API gateway do?">API gateway</a> intercepts all incoming client requests and sends them through the API management system to connect to backend services.</p><p dir="ltr">A developer portal is a web-based dashboard that provides developers with self-service access to API documentation, code samples, <a href="/en/topics/cloud-native-apps/what-is-SDK" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="ca3084b2-caa0-4173-8813-05109383abe2" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="What is an SDK?">software development kits</a> (SDKs), and other resources for API developers.</p><p dir="ltr">Part of API management is providing an easy way to manage and monitor the entire API lifecycle. API lifecycle management tools include features for designing APIs using industry-standard specifications, versioning APIs, managing change control processes, and tracking API usage and performance over time.</p><p dir="ltr">API management platforms contain security and access control components to enforce authentication, authorization, and security policies to protect APIs and sensitive data from unauthorized access and abuse.

Analytics provides data about API activities but we still must provide a definition of success. When defining success in your organization consider these 5 key performance objectives for APIs:</p><ol><li><strong>Dependability.</strong> Dependability is the availability of the API to developers. A useful metric for measuring dependability is <em>downtime</em>. Is the API always available for use? Another metric is <em>quota</em> which defines how many API calls can be made by a developer within a certain time frame. A quota protects an API from abuse and makes its management more predictable. Some API providers’ business models and price plans are based on quotas.</li><li><strong>Flexibility.</strong> Flexibility refers to the options developers have when adopting APIs. Greater flexibility in an API means greater effort (and cost) for the organization managing the API.</li><li><strong>Quality.</strong> Quality is the consistent conformance of the API’s behavior to developer’s expectations. It is a way of measuring developer’s satisfaction with the API.</li><li><strong>Speed.</strong> Speed can be measured by <em>access latency</em> and <em>throughput</em>. Speed can be influenced by techniques like throttling or caching.</li><li><strong>Cost.</strong> The goal of measuring cost is to provide developers with the best value for your money. All of the other 4 objectives contribute, in one way or another, to the cost objective.</li></ol></div></div></div>  <div class="rh-group--layout" data-rh-content-size=xl data-rh-layout="stacked" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><header class="rh-standard-header--component" ><div class="rh-standard-header-container"><h2 class="rh-standard-header-headline-medium pfe-jump-links-panel__section" id="why-choose-red-hat" nav-label="Why choose Red Hat?" >Why choose Red Hat?</h2></div></header><div class="rh-generic--component" ><p dir="ltr">Red Hat® OpenShift®, the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, brings together tested and trusted services to reduce the friction of developing, modernizing, deploying, running, and managing applications.
