Building a reusable API platform with WSO2

API driven digital economy is here to stay. Whether you like it or not, you have to embrace that if you have plans to stay along with the competition in your respective domain. But API adoption comes at a cost. Depending on which vendor you are going to choose, you will end up with a considerable cost. Good things do not come easy and they are not free. It is a given that you have to spend some amount of money to get things going in terms of the API driven business. But the real problem is that, what is the benefit you get out of that investment? How long will it take to show some benefits? These problems are nothing new to business leaders since they deal with these sorts of problems day in day out.

How to setup an WSO2 API manager distributed setup with a clustered gateway with WSO2 ELB

In this blog post I am going to describe about how to configure a WSO2 API Manager in a distributed setup with a clustered gateway with WSO2 ELB and the WSO2 G-REG for a distributed deployment in your production environment. Before continuing with this post, you need to download the above mentioned products from the WSO2 website. WSO2 APIM - http://wso2.com/products/api-manager/ WSO2 ELB - http://wso2.com/products/elastic-load-balancer/ Understanding the API Manager architecture API Manager uses the following four main components: Publisher Creates and publishes APIs Store Provides a user interface to search, select, and subscribe to APIs Key Manager Used for authentication, security, and key-related operations Gateway Responsible for securing, protecting, managing, and scaling API calls Here is the deployment diagram that we are going to configure. In this setup, you have 5 APIM nodes with 2 gateway...

WSO2 ESB tuning performance with threads

I have written several blog posts explaining the internal behavior of the ESB and the threads created inside ESB. With this post, I am talking about the effect of threads in the WSO2 ESB and how to tune up threads for optimal performance. You can refer [1] and [2] to understand the threads created within the ESB. [1] http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/05/understanding-threads-created-in-wso2.html [2] http://wso2.com/library/articles/2012/03/importance-performance-wso2-esb-handles-nonobvious/ Within this blog post, I am discussing about the "worker threads" which are used for processing the data within the WSO2 ESB. There are 2 types of worker threads created when you start sending the requests to the server 1) Server Worker/Client Worker Threads 2) Mediator Worker (Synapse-Worker) Threads Server Worker/Client Worker Threads These set of threads will be used to process all the requests/responses coming to the ESB server. ServerWorker Threads will be used to pr...

Performance Tuning WSO2 ESB with a practical example

WSO2 ESB is arguably the highest performing open source ESB available in the industry. With the default settings, it will provide a really good performance OOTB. You can find the official performance tuning guide in the below link. https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESB481/Performance+Tuning Above document includes lot of parameters and how to change them for best performance. Even though it provides some recommended values for the performance tuning, that is not straightforward. The values you put in the configuration files will highly reliant on your use case. Idea of this blog post is to provide a practical example of tuning these parameters with a sample use case. For the performance testing, I am using a simple proxy service which iterate through set of xml elements and send request to a sample server and aggregate the responses back to the client. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"     ...
