The WSO2 API Manager team is pleased to announce the release of API Manager Microgateway 3.0.0-M1.

Introduction

The API Manager Microgateway provides the capability to create specialized gateway distribution (Microgateway distributions) where only a single API or a group of APIs are included. Once a Microgateway distribution is started, it will start serving those specific API(s) right away.

In summary, a Microgateway is a specialized form of the WSO2 API Gateway by having below main characteristics:

  • Ability to host a subset of APIs of choice (defined on the API Publisher) instead of all.
  • Immutability - if you update an API you need to re-create the container/instance, no hot deployment.

Design Goals

Following are some of the main expectations of Microgateway

  • Ability to host just one or a selected set (subset) of APIs only.
  • Easy integration with CI/CD processes.
  • Seamless integration with deployment automation tools and techniques.

Setting up Microgateway

This product will include a CLI, the B7a platform distribution and a few B7a extensions (Endpoints and Filters). The Microgateway will have two main responsibilities.

  • Setting up a Microgateway project.
  • Running the Microgateway project.

These two steps will be treated as two phases. One will first complete the "setup" phase and move on to the "build" phase. The reason for treating them as phases is to make it possible for developers to take control of the runtime if and when required. For example, what gets run as default on a Microgateway is a simple API proxy. If a developer needs to perform some sort of an integration or change the Ballerina source files for some other reason, he could engage with the project after the setup phase and do the required modifications before the distribution is built.
