Distributed API Management in a Hybrid Cloud Environment

Explore the challenges and solutions of implementing distributed API management in a hybrid cloud environment through a case study of Swiss Railways' substantial Red Hat OpenShift installation. Discover how they built a scalable, portable, and highly available API management platform using 3scale by Red Hat on-premise and Red Hat single sign-on (SSO) to handle thousands of microservices and APIs. Learn about the architecture, automation, monitoring, and technical details of their solution, including caching strategies, decoupled gateway implementation, and scaling considerations. Gain insights into collaboration, ownership, and the tradeoffs involved in building a fully automated self-service API management platform. Understand the key takeaways and future roadmap for managing APIs at scale in a hybrid cloud environment.
