APIIDA API Gateway Manager

Migrations and Templates

Migrations

Migrations within the APIIDA API Gateway Manager resemble what you're accustomed to from the Layer7 gateway itself. They encompass the resources you intend to migrate from one gateway to another, along with most of their dependencies. However, the Gateway Manager enhances the migration experience by automatically addressing common pitfalls. This facilitates fast, reliable, and, most importantly, repeatable migrations without necessitating an in-depth understanding of the gateway's inner workings. As a result, your team can elevate its DevOps capabilities, ensuring that migration tasks aren't restricted to the most senior team member.

Templates

Service templates allow you to create starters for new services. Most services you will deploy on your gateway share boilerplate code that is almost the same throughout the board. Using the API Gateway Manager you can create templates that contain common fragments and have variables that can be replaced upon deploying new services based on this template. To make the template more versatile you can define blocks of assertion that are included or excluded based on choices presented to the user during service creation.
