Book Description

Implementing Oracle API Platform Cloud Service moves from theory to practice using the newest Oracle API management platform. This critical new platform for Oracle developers allows you to interface the complex array of services your clients expect in the modern world.

First, you'll learn about Oracle's new platform and get an overview of it, then you'll see a use case showing the functionality and use of this new platform for Oracle customers. Next, you'll see the power of Apiary and begin designing your own APIs. From there, you'll build and run microservices and set up the Oracle API gateways.

Moving on, you'll discover how to customize the developer portal and publish your own APIs. You'll spend time looking at configuration management on the new platform, and implementing the Oauth 2.0 policy, as well as custom policies. The latest finance modules from Oracle will be examined, with some of the third party alternatives in sight as well.

Review

From the Foreword:

Tooling for API Design and Management has already become very mature, offering many capabilities to help development teams meet their goals in whichever circumstance they find themselves. While there is a continuing evolution in the tooling, which will continue for the time to come, the time to leverage the tooling is today.

This book will provide a specific perspective, using scenarios based on real-life use cases, on how to interpret and be successful with domain-specific concepts, namely API first design, microservices-based backend implementation, API testing, monitoring, and more.

For companies already well underway, this book will provide complementary information, which can be used to succeed with any industry standard tooling, and will use the Oracle API Platform Cloud Service as an example. Welcome to the API community!
