Service Bus enabling API Management by Tshepo Madigage

Two of the most important questions businesses are asking themselves when launching new application infrastructure projects are:

1. What steps do we need to take to elevate our initial “services infrastructure” into a “shared services infrastructure” supporting spikes in loads, improving high service availability, introducing agility, and simplifying manageability?
2. As our infrastructure begins to expand beyond our firewalls to incorporate more third-party cloud services into mission critical projects, are we prepared to manage the increase in service response latency time and risk?

Oracle Service Bus – an integral part of Oracle SOA Suite – is proven, lightweight integration Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Oracle Service Bus simplifies integration and improves time-to-market for new business services by replacing complex point-to-point integration with a single service virtualisation connection. Instead of disparate integration tool kits throughout your enterprise, Oracle Service Bus delivers a common standards-based integration solution spanning public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises applications and services. Oracle Service Bus allows you to achieve value more quickly with simple, code-free, configuration-based integration and supports rapid mobile enablement of smartphones and tablets.

As mobile and the Internet of Things continue to digitize all kinds of products and services, APIs are an essential component in securely connecting applications with devices. The newly released Oracle API Manager provides easy-to-use facilities for annotating and publishing REST and SOAP services as APIs to a developer portal where application developers can discover, test, register and subscribe to these APIs, as well as track API performance. It is available on-premises today and will soon be available as a component of Oracle’s rapidly expanding cloud services portfolio. Additionally, Oracle API Catalog simplifies the publication of API services that are developed in Oracle and other sources. Read the complete article here.
