The webcast consists of two interconnected parts. In the first one, Sam Ramji gives a talk on the reasons behind using PaaS. Ed Anuff and Martin Nally of Apigee cover the second part of the video speaking about APIs and ways in which PaaS and API management can work together.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Why do we use PaaS?<\/span><\/h3>\n
Transforming the world around us, technology defines modern society and changes human behavior. When the ability to adapt quickly becomes the key for keeping up with this constant movement forward, time-honored business models are no longer sufficient for a company to stay relevant.<\/p>\n
As Sam Ramji rightly pointed out in the debate, there is a common corporate strategy that characterizes leading companies globally\u2014continuous innovation. To elaborate the point further, he refers to the idea introduced in a number of his previous talks<\/a>\u2014pairing cloud native applications with continuous delivery of business value as the solution for practicing innovation proficiency.<\/p>\n
$\"cloud-foundry-and-cloud-native-apps\"$ <\/a><\/center><\/p>\n
Briefly, the foundations of the continuous delivery of business value concept are digital innovation focusing on cycle time optimization rather than volume of production, smaller teams, and faster tools. This is where PaaS steps in with its capability to enable continuous deployment of cloud native applications and, as a result, accelerate software development.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The world of APIs<\/span><\/h3>\n
The second part of the webcast focuses on APIs as a mean of increasing application agility. Starting from an introduction to different API types\u2014internal and external\u2014the conversation then moves to API management, including API security, monitoring, and analytics as its core offerings.<\/p>\n
$\"microservices-and-apis\"$ <\/a><\/center><\/p>\n
For people interested in PaaS and API management working together, two possible ways are suggested:<\/p>\n
\n
Proxy model<\/li>\n
Integrated model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Although microservices and PaaS do not necessarily require each other, it happened so that these two work pretty well in pair. The Cloud Foundry PaaS with its high-level automation simplifies deployment, management, and monitoring of microservices that became a popular pattern for developing complex cloud applications.<\/p>\n
To meet the needs of today\u2019s microservice-based applications where APIs are crucial means of communication, API management also comes into play helping to develop systems with versatile APIs. The opportunity to leverage both PaaS and API management for building modern applications delivers even richer cloud user experience, which is a truly gratifying moment for all involved in the world of cloud computing.<\/p>\n
Check out the Microservices vs. Monolithic Architectures<\/em><\/a> paper to see what are the pros and cons of the microservice approach as well as how to run and scale microservices on Cloud Foundry.<\/p>\n
In another research paper<\/a>, you can find the comparison of Apache Usergrid and WSO2 API Manager for designing and developing APIs and MBaaS.<\/p>\n
In fact, the history of Apache Usergrid is closely connected with Apigee starting from 2012 when Apigee acquired Usergrid, a startup founded by Ed Anuff.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
