DevOps Usecase in API Gateway
API Gateway enables continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) practices to be used for development, deployment, and promotion of the APIs, applications, other related assets, and for supporting the use of DevOps tooling.
The API Gateway specific scripts that are provided as part of the Asset Build Environment and webMethods Deployer can be used by continuous integration tools like Jenkins. The sample flow is as follows:
1. The developer makes changes to a development API Gateway instance.
2. A Jenkins job then uses the build script to pull data from this development instance and push it to a version control system such as GIT.
3. Another job is used to pull it from a version control system and then use the webMethods Deployer scripts to directly push it to the test instance. In this way, the test instance always have the APIs.
Sample: Staging workflow
Sample: Staging call flow
