Understanding Multi Cloud Enterprise Deployment architecture

If your enterprise is thinking about moving into cloud, you should be thinking about moving into multi-cloud. The reason is that, you can achieve the below mentioned advantages.

  • Provides much better service availability — Given that your applications are running across multiple cloud environments, your services can run without much interruption even if an entire cloud system goes down.
  • Get enterprises free from vendor lock-in — Cloud vendors always try to get as much applications into their own cloud and that will lock you into a single vendor so that you cannot get away from them even you need to do it. With the multi-cloud approach, you don’t need to lock into any vendor and move away from them at any time.
  • Can negotiate for better deals — Once you are in multi cloud, you have more power to demand for discounts since every vendor wants to increase their share of your account.
  • Can use best technology for the applications — Different cloud vendors are strong in different areas. When you have a multi cloud strategy, you can select the best technology for your task which is provided by the respective cloud vendor.
  • Can provide better performance to consumers — Your applications can run on multiple clouds and expose the functionality through cloud gateways which are closed to the consumers in relevant cloud deployments based on locations.
The below medium post discussed the multi-cloud enterprise deployment pattern in detail.

How to protect your APIs with self contained access token (JWT) using WSO2 API Manager and WSO2 Identity Server

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...

WSO2 ESB creating a response for a "GET" request

When you are creating REST APIs with WSO2 ESB, you may need to send some response message back to the user when something goes wrong. In this kind of scenario, you can create a payload inside the ESB and send it back. For doing this, you can use the below configuration. <api xmlns=" http://ws.apache.org/ ns/synapse " name="LoopBackProxy" context="/loopback">    <resource methods="POST GET">       <inSequence>          <property name="NO_ENTITY_BODY" scope="axis2" action="remove"></property>          <log level="full"></log>          <payloadFactory media-type="xml">             <format>                <m:messageBeforeLoopBack xmlns:m=" http://services...

WSO2 ESB usage of get-property function

What are Properties? WSO2 has a huge set of mediators but property mediator is mostly used mediator for writing any proxy service or API. Property mediator is used to store any value or xml fragment temporarily during life cycle of a thread for any service or API. We can compare “Property” mediator with “Variable” in any other traditional programming languages (Like: C, C++, Java, .Net etc). There are few properties those are used/maintained by ESB itself and on the other hand few properties can be defined by users (programmers). In other words, we can say that properties can be define in below 2 categories: ESB Defined Properties User Defined Properties. These properties can be stored/defined in different scopes, like: Transport Synapse or Default Axis2 Registry System Operation Generally, these properties are read by get-properties() function. This function can be invoked with below 2 variations. get-property(String propertyName) get-property(String scop...
