More and more businesses are publishing their own apps, and that involves the use of APIs. Yet many existing API tools focus only on publishing and ignore the user and partner side of things.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) company WaveMaker is releasing its new WaveMaker Gateway, to make it easier for enterprises to open up their APIs to partners and external developers.
WaveMaker Gateway brings together API publishers and API consumers to form an ecosystem that benefits all of them. It helps in the simplification, management and securing of APIs, as well as making them operationally ready and analyzing external rollouts.
"Custom apps are key to innovating and fostering ecosystems, and this cannot be done without APIs", says Samir Ghosh, CEO of WaveMaker. "WaveMaker Gateway completes our suite of API tools for the enterprise, and is the next step for enterprises looking to selectively and securely share apps outside of their organization with partners as well as third-party developers. We believe we are unique in that we provide enterprise developers with tools to create, manage, and consume APIs and applications -- within and outside the enterprise -- on a single unified platform".
For publishers WaveMaker offers API owners the ability to upload, document and make APIs visible. Product managers can easily publish APIs and apply business relevant policies to manage their external consumption. Operational administrators can monitor the consumption of APIs in real time, providing useful business insights.
For consumers it means that partners as well as third-party developers can choose various API subscription plans based on their needs. They can easily bring onboard applications and generate the required keys to use APIs within their apps. App developers can browse, list, test and understand published API behavior. Developers can also use the visual drag-and-drop Rapid Application Development methodology of WaveMaker Studio to simplify the consumption of APIs and reduce the effort of developing custom apps.
