API Governance Models in the Public and Private Sectors: Part 1

This is part one of an eight-part series on the Department of Veterans Affairs microconsulting project, “Governance Models in Public and Private Sector.” Providing an overview of API governance to help the VA, “understand, with the intention to adopt, best practices from the private and public sector, specifically for prioritizing APIs to build, standards to which to build APIs, and making the APIs usable by external consumers.” Pulling together several years of research conducted by industry analyst API Evangelist, as well as phone interviews with API practitioners from large enterprise organizations who are implementing API governance on the ground across the public and private sector, conducted by Skylight Digital.

We’ve assembled this report to reflect the interview conversations we had with leaders from the space, helping provide a walkthrough of the types of roles and software architecture being employed to implement governance at large organizations. Then, we walk through governance as it pertains to identifying possible APIs, developing standards around the delivery of APIs, how organizations are moving APIs into production, as well as presenting them to their consumers. Wrapping up with an overview of formal API governance details, as well as an acknowledgment that most API governance is rarely ever a fully formed initiative at this point in time. Providing a narrative for API governance, with a wealth of bulleted elements that can be considered, and assembled in the service of helping govern the API efforts across any large enterprise. https://goo.gl/eAkx9a #DataIntegration #ML

Install anypoint-cli On-Premise in Off-Line Mode

#ICYDK: Introduction

anypoint-cli is a very powerful tool that can perform a lot of operations of Mule application management, environment setup, etc. MuleSoft provides a good document online: https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/anypoint-platform-cli. However, in many on-premise environments, there is no direct access to the outside world. We need to install anypoint-cli in the off-line mode. Mulesoft has a documentation on this: https://support.mulesoft.com/s/article/How-to-perform-offline-installation-of-Anypoint-CLI. This post addresses the details of the deployment, which includes installing the node and configuring the anypoint-cli environment.
