Service Virtualization via Axway API Gateway
Learn how to simplify and customize how you manage APIs using Policy Studio. https://www.axway.com/en/products/api-management/govern-apis This video covers how you can use Policy Studio and service virtualization to simplify the policy creation process. Service virtualization is a frequent use case with API Gateway; it’s a technique that emulates the behavior of certain components in other various component-based applications, for example, API-driven applications, cloud-based applications, and service-oriented architecture. Instead of connecting to the service directly, clients connect through the API Gateway, then apply policies to protect and mediate messages sent to the destination service. What is an API Gateway? API Gateway is the programming that sits in front of an API. With this idea comes true security that is needed to go with your API Gateway. The most concrete notion to take away is that API Gateways are “API proxies that are put between the API Provider and the Consumer.” They are responsible for different tasks and security is one of them.

But, it is not the entire API solution. With an API gateway, you can design API specs, provide enterprise-grade security, and manage APIs centrally.
