Solution Use Cases in App Modernization

Use case opportunities across industries

how to identify opportunities to implement use cases, projects, and programs onto the Apigee-Edge platform. If you find these kinds of initiatives at your clients, please contact the Google Apigee team to help you qualify and pursue these joint opportunities.

Sometimes it’s obvious, the client realizes they need API Management (APIM) and formally investigates the available solutions (i.e. RFP, RFI, etc.). In this scenario it’s clear that our partners should recommend implementing Apigee-Edge, the world’s leading APIM platform. Just ask Gartner

Challenge

However, there are many scenarios where clients need APIM but don’t know it - where the client is making significant investments to pursue digital initiatives (sometimes transformational) and don’t realize that Apigee-Edge can unlock and accelerate the value of those investments. This document lists some of the more common client initiatives we’re seeing that point to the need for APIM, and that have resulted Apigee-Edge implementations. A brief description for how Apigee-Edge helps in each client scenario is provided along with links to deeper learning and relevant customer stories. These digital initiatives are the smoke that point to the fire of needing Apigee-Edge.

API Management Use Cases

Desire to share APIs with developers faster

Partner developers, customer developers, and internal developers. In 2016 this became a common use case that resulted in clients selecting Apigee-Edge. As requirements matured beyond just exposing APIs to consuming APIs, clients came to realize that the key is to accelerate developer on-boarding. The customizable and self-serve developer portal bundled within Apigee Edge enables developers to rapidly find, test, and understand APIs, thus dramatically accelerating the consumption of APIs. Apigee’s customers are now using Apigee-Edge to build a developer ecosystem and increase developer consumption of their APIs.

Need for a developer portal

Closely related to a client’s desires to share APIs with developers faster, is the practical decision to provide a developer portal as the means to share those APIs and foster a strong developer ecosystem for internal or external (partners, customers) developers. A standalone developer portal will however be challenged to integrate with the client’s API production methods (possibly fragmented). The standalone developer portal can offer a silo of visibility that is limited to the activity within the portal, while lacking the visibility that spans across applications, APIs (including payloads for business analytics in addition to operational analytics), and the backend systems. That’s where Google’s Apigee-Edge platform is able to differentiate itself and why many clients selected Apigee-Edge, a fully integrated APIM platform vs. investing time and resources to try to piece together a platform. The world’s leading companies (AT&T, SAP, Fujitsu, and many others) evaluated build vs. buy and selected Apigee-Edge.

Creating omni-channel connected eCommerce

As retailers revamp their e-commerce experiences, many are realizing that the optimal consumer experience is unified across interaction channels (i.e., mobile, web, kiosk, etc.). For this unified, omni-channel experience to materialize, APIs must be versioned and consumed quickly by application developers. Doing this requires an integrated platform that allows the rapid versioning of APIs, with a tightly integrated developer portal to allow developers to rapidly find, test, and understand APIs.

Moving to Microservices

Nearly 70% of organizations claim to be either using or investigating microservices, (research from NGINX). Microservices are implemented using a variety of microservices stacks like Kubernetes, Netflix OSS, and Mesos, depending on client needs. All these microservices use web APIs as a mechanism to communicate with one another. There’s a challenging side effect, however. It’s common for clients to inadvertently create silos with inconsistencies in security, visibility, documentation, and governance as they move to microservices. Many of the APIs that connect microservices are not secured consistently across the organization, and may not be accompanied by standardized documentation, or access control mechanisms. These microservices and associated APIs are often difficult to reuse, analyze, or even to discover for use.

Moving to cloud or hybrid-multi-cloud

As clients move their workloads to the cloud or build new cloud-native applications, how will they connect them with other apps and data that still reside in your data centers, or in other clouds? The de facto standard to connect cloud workloads is the REST API. To get the most out of your cloud deployments, there’s a host of best practices around managing APIs in the cloud world, addressing the challenges faced in moving to cloud, managing security, governance, and visibility. Apigee-Edge plays a vital role in managing these APIs.

Overhauling and future-proofing the enterprise software stack

Many companies struggle with how to “become digital”, often thinking they need to upgrade and update their backend systems, and build new software stacks in preparation of becoming “digital” – sample elements of digital are: going Mobile, launching IOT initiatives, becoming more data driven, and operating at massive scale with millions of users and billions of transactions that occur outside the enterprise firewall that must be secured. One of the core values of the Apigee-Edge platform is enabling companies to “go digital” while minimizing the impact on backend systems, actually protecting and buffering backend systems from unnecessary or malicious traffic, and sometimes eliminating the need to update and upgrade the backends altogether. The Apigee-Edge platform enables this at a fraction of the cost and time

Extract new value from existing company assets through digital

We are seeing companies in every industry that are evaluating how they can participate in digital to gain new value from their existing assets (both digital and physical). This value can take many forms, including greater customer or partner “stickiness,” differentiation or competitive advantage of their existing products or services, new revenue streams, and many more. However many clients struggle with how to move beyond just “exposing” APIs, to how to drive API consumption by application developers and ultimately users (the ultimate measure of success). Many clients use Apigee-Edge to create vibrant developer ecosystems (both internal and external), rapidly creating the digital experiences that users consume and realize new value.

Struggling to move to agile development

While many companies desire and are working to move toward an agile development methodology, many are struggling with the “how” to empower their teams to develop applications at the pace the business demands. Becoming “agile” goes beyond reorganizing the teams and adopting a different methodology – it also requires decoupling the development and maintenance of the “digital systems of engagement” from the development and maintenance of “legacy systems of record” (i.e.: ESBs, CRM, ERP, dBases, etc. – the combination of systems commonly referred to as the “backend”).
