3. Why REST APIs aren’t enough?

8. “Event-driven APIs are a new style of API that uses a subscription “push” model rather than the request-response model of conventional RESTful APIs. Architects must develop new approaches to mediating and governing event-driven APIs, because API management platforms designed only for RESTful APIs may not be sufficient.” Source: Gartner “Emerging Technologies and Trends Impact Radar: IT Services”, 24 Sept 2020, Twiggy Lo, Brendan Williams What about Event-Driven APIs?
9. Inventory Shipping CRM • REST APIs Good for for peer-to- peer data exchange or passing of control • Event-Driven APIs Good for one-to-many, scalable distribution of time-sensitive info • Managing both consistently is key to success REST APIs and Event-Driven APIs; Different Tools for Different Jobs REST APIs (Request/Response) Customer Order Management Event-Driven APIs (Publish/Subscribe) Other Stakeholders Place Order Confirm Order Subscribe to Events by Topic Publish Events • Stock allocated • Order processed • Product shipped Status Updates Event Broker
10. Manage Events as Event API Products
11. API Products Help Others Consume Your Business Capabilities • Bundles of related APIs that meet the needs of developers who serve different business functions • Produced, shared and consumed through a developer portal • Managed by a product manager/owner - roadmap, price, lifecycle Source: Gartner “Kick-Start Your Composable Business Journey With 2 Key Strategies”, 15 Dec 2020, Yefim Natis, Mark O’Neill, John Santoro
12. Use Event API Products To Make It Easier to Consume and Add New Value Bundle related sets of events for specific business purposes Curate and expose high value, real-time data for rapid decision-making Innovate and personalize offers based on evolving customer needs Event API Product: Product Pricing Received Processed Product Available Promotion Launched Shipped Stock Allocated Ready to Sell Event API Product: Inventory Event API Product: Order Status
13. Event Management is Like API Management 12 © Solace Proprietary & Confidential RESTful Architecture API Portal Design-time APIs, Schemas, Applications ?

15. The Unified API Management
16. API Patterns Evolution HYBRID REST/EVENTS REST API with East-West Events ALL REST REST API, Service Mesh, No Event Streams EVENT APIs REST and AsyncAPI with East-West Events Better Response times, Agility and CX REST calls/Sync REST call drives async events across services REST call drives async events across services, and events push to API using AsyncAPI API API API AsyncAPI AsyncAPI Pre Conditional Post

Discover products, Request Access, Credentials 2. Import Solace Event API-Products via Agent & compose unified API-Products with synchronous APIs 1. Discover Events from Solace or Kafka & create Event API-Products
19. 18 © Solace Proprietary & Confidential Benefits of Unified API-Management Increased innovation Higher transparency, Agility & fitting technology per need Higher ROI Better reusability of data and decreased dev-cycle time by self-service provisioning & improved collaboration Customer satisfaction Resilience improve and real- time customer facing services (e.g. real-time notification)
