API Gateway
 
Terracotta
API Gateway enables you to securely expose APIs to consumers. You can use API Gateway instead of Mediator and Enterprise Gateway Server; API Gateway provides the same functionality as those two products. In addition, you can do the following with API Gateway:
*Create APIs and publish them to API-Portal.
*Define API policies.
*Makes sure requests from and responses to consumer applications conform to policies you define.
*Transforms requests from and responses to consumer applications according to transformation steps you define.
*Monetize a set of APIs by bundling them into a package, providing one or more plans that define pricing and quality of service terms for the package, and publishing the package and plans in API-Portal. Consumers can subscribe to API packages, and then use access tokens issued by API-Portal upon subscription to access the APIs within the package.
Note:  
API-Portal also provides public APIs that providers can use to publish API packages and plans from other sources.
*Gather information about gateway events and API events, as well as details about the popularity of individual APIs. API-Portal displays this information in the form of dashboards.
API Gateway runs on the run-time server Integration Server.
