Developing APIs with Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform

In this course, you learn how to design APIs, and how to use OpenAPI specifications to document them. You learn about the API life cycle, and how the Apigee API platform helps you manage all aspects of the life cycle. You learn how APIs can be designed using API proxies, and how APIs are packaged as API products to be used by app developers. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and supplemental materials, you will learn how to design, build, secure, deploy, and manage API solutions using Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform.

Explore platform capabilities for protecting against content-based attacks. Discuss transport security and protecting connections to backend services. Protect sensitive data using KVMs, data masking, and private variables. Prevent internal users from gaining unauthorized access.
Describe out-of-the-box capabilities for mediation and fault handling. Describe implementation patterns and policies for JSON, XML, and SOAP. Discuss extensibility options using Service Callouts, JavaScript, and Java. Explore practices to reuse, share, and enforce execution of flows and policies.
Describe when and how to use traffic management. Evaluate use cases for rate limiting with spike arrests and quotas. Describe caching strategy and its application.
Describe API Publishing strategy, process, and versioning. Describe the role of developer portals in the API lifecycle. Create, configure, and use a developer portal.
