Enterprise Integration for Beginners

I wrote a medium post on how to build a fully automated CI/CD process to develop APIs with WSO2 API Manager. The original post can be found in the below link. In this post I'm discussing about how to utilize WSO2 API Manager product level APIs to implement the continous integration (CI) and continous deployment (CD) aspects within your enterprise ecosystem and how that can be fully automated with tools like GitHub and TraviCI. https://medium.com/wso2-learning/building-a-fully-automated-ci-cd-process-for-api-development-with-wso2-api-manager-d787431110aa

WSO2 API Manager is one of the leading open source API management platforms available in the market. According to a recent Gartner research (2018) it has been identified as the best “visionary” type vendor in the market. It comes with a support for full API lifecycle management, horizontal and vertical scalability and deployment options of on-premise, public cloud (SaaS) and managed (private) cloud. In this article, I’m going to discuss about how you can implement a service mashup (or service orchestration) with WSO2 API Manager within 10 minutes. Let’s get started by downloading the WSO2 API Manager from the following link. https://wso2.com/api-management/install/ Once you downloaded the product, you can install it to the desired location. Let’s consider the directory which WSO2 API Manager is installed as “APIM_HOME”. You can start the product using the following command within the APIM_HOME directory. $ sh bin/wso2server.sh Before implementing the use case, let’s understand the sce...

In a typical enterprise information system, there is a high chance that people will use different types of systems built by different vendors to implement certain types of functionalities. The APIs might be hosted in an API Manager developed by vendor A and the user management can be implemented using a different vendor (vendor B). In this type of a situation, one system will not be able to directly contact the other system but they want to use both systems in tandem. Self-contained access tokens are used in these types of situations where applications can get the token from one system and use that in another system to access protected resources. In this scenario, the second system does not need to make a contact to the first system over the network to validate the user information since the token is self-contained and it has relevant details about the user. This will improve the token processing time significantly since it completely removes the network interaction. The below fig...

In the first part of this tutorial, I have explained about the concepts around WSO2 Stream Processor and how they are correlated with each other and which components users can use to implement their streaming analytics requirements. It laid out the platform for this tutorial (part 2) where we get our hands dirty with WSO2 SP. The first thing you have to do is download the WSO2 SP runtime from WSO2 website. https://wso2.com/analytics/install Once you download the product distribution, you can extract that into a directory and run the product from the bin directory. You need to set the “JAVA_HOME” environment variable to your java installation (1.8 or higher) before starting the product. In this part of the tutorial, we are going to implement some streaming analytics use cases with WSO2 SP. Hence we need to start the SP in “editor” mode using the following command (for linux). $ sh bin/editor.sh This command will start the editor profile of the WSO2 SP and prints the URL of the...
