Google Apigee
Apigee acts as the secure entry point for all APIs. Key functions include:
- Security and access control (authentication, authorization, OAuth, API keys)
- Traffic management (rate limiting, quotas, throttling)
- Monitoring and analytics (usage, performance, error tracking)
- Versioning and lifecycle management of APIs
- Policy enforcement without changing backend systems
This allows backend services to remain stable while APIs evolve safely over time.
Drupal Developer Portal
The Drupal Developer Portal is open-source software, provides a central place for people to discover, understand, and use APIs. The portal reduces support overhead and enables self-service access. Key functions include:
- API documentation and usage guides
- Onboarding instructions and examples
- Registration and access request workflows
- A consistent experience for internal and external developers
