Two days ago, the API Gateway service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure went live – read the announcement. This is a crucial component for many applications and in many solution designs. This new API Gateway is a prime candidate for example for inclusion in our reference architecture for OCI based solution designs. The API Gateway acts as a reverse proxy that handles HTTP requests from clients – either within OCI or on the public internet – and routes them to the configured endpoint. These endpoints can be any HTTP endpoint within OCI – such as Integration (OIC), an ingress on Kubernetes (OKE), a service in a Compute VM, ORDS on top of Autonomous Database – or outside of OCI. API Gateway also exposes Serverless Functions (Project Fn based) on OCI. One of the backend types supported by API Gateway – next to HTTP backend and Oracle Function as a backend – is Stock [response]; this type of backend always returns the exact same static response – headers and body. It can be used to quickly test [the health and availability and accessibility of) an API Gateway and a route (request policies are enforced in this case too) or to provide a mock response in stead of a backend that is still under development.
API Gateway lives in an OCI compartment, is associated with an OCI VCN and a public or private subnet. In case of the latter, the API Gateway is not publicly exposed and is used only for traffic within OCI. Read the complete article here.
