Another capability of APIs is the use of a repository. These repositories act as the single point of truth for an API. APIIDA API Gateway Manager allows you to migrate a specific version stored in that repository to your gateways. You don’t need to manually import that version into some kind of integration gateway first. For more information on the possibilities of repository-based migrations or migrations in general please refer to the corresponding sections of this documentation.

Please note that this functionality is only available in the Enterprise Edition of APIIDA API Gateway Manager. |
Folder
Folders first correspond to the folders from the gateway. They group the APIs and create a logical unit. If you register entire folders in the Gateway Manager, you also register all the underlying services.
Instance
When a folder or service is registered, it is created in the Gateway Manager and the instance of it is created at the same time. The instance is the deployed version of the API running on a gateway. An API cannot occur twice, but there is one instance for each gateway on which the API is present.
