Component Capacity Planning Guidelines
API Gateway Peak load of the API calls
Auth Server Peak load of the API calls
API Store Peak load of the subscriptions and browsing
API Publisher Peak load of the API publishing and LCM tasks
Analytics System load of the API calls
Deployment Pattern : Minimum with internal store

Monitoring API Performance and Delivering a
Scalable API Solution
The feedback cycle
Gather API data
Slice and Dice
Decide
Adjust parameters
Recap
• Monitoring stats available - http://bit.ly/SFepPt
• Usage data such as number of hits, subscriptions, access time already
gathered
Gathering API data
• What if you want custom data off of API requests?
• Plug-in a monitoring extension – mediator
• Net total of each order – total=259
API Manager
BAM
Slice and Dice
• Customers who have placed orders above 2 mil USD
• Select customer_name, sum(order_amount) from Orders groupby
customer_name
Customer_name Sum(order_amount)
Coyote 2,332,223
Acme 10,654,333
Decide
Decide (cont.)
• Check for trends
• Compare past resutls
• Get help with Reporting & Dashboards
Adjust parameters
Adjust parameters (cont.)
• Increase server capacity
• Increase redundancy
• Retire APIs
• Introduce new versions
Summary
• Create an effective feedback cycle
• Get proper alerts and dashboards in place
• Tune your APIs for maximum performance
