Learn How Searce Assisted Ayoconnect in Accommodating a One-thousand-fold Surge in Apigee API Hits
Supporting Southeast Asia’s largest Open Finance API platform as it develops full stack solutions to power the leading companies of today and the tech unicorns of tomorrow necessitates infrastructure modernization with readiness to onboard heavier workloads without putting any strain on the existing workforce and overcoming other obstacles.
Challenges
- Existing API management portal was unable to accommodate the growing number of transactions and client traffic on its platform
- Due to manual interventions in the existing API management setup, the lean infrastructure team was facing bandwidth issues
- The platform’s inability to scale up rapidly led to loss in potential revenue
- Added overhead costs due to managing multiple cloud platforms
- Existing API management portal couldn’t log API metrics
Searce Solution
API modernization was a solution suggested by experts at Searce by implementing Apigee. Apigee connects to distinct Virtual Private Cloud hosting developing, staging, and production, which is connected by VPC bridges ensuring that no clients directly access environments on which services are hosted. We suggested a novel integration with Cloud Run’s fully-managed serverless platform for delivering containerized applications used to run Ayoconnect’s Apigee-powered open banking system. While setting up the architecture, Searce assisted Ayoconnect in implementing best practices for integrating and managing their API proxies with Apigee.
- External API proxies on Apigee X with private target at Cloud Run
- Security Hardening with VPC Service Controls
- Automate business processes to accommodate bandwidth issues
- Scale effortlessly to support any sudden traffic spike, client campaigns, and all other operations
- Developer Portal with OAuth 2.0 authentication and payload optimization – API documentation and API Key Generation
Business Impact
The company can now withstand high demand campaigns, sudden traffic surges, and, most significantly, a 1,000-fold increase in API visits compared to its previous B2C version with a large client base. Modernizing the infrastructure has aided Ayoconnect in the following ways:
- To minimize team size and and onboard less workload per member
