The InterSystems API Manager (IAM) enables you to monitor and control traffic to and from your web-based APIs. If you are building service-oriented application layers, you are very likely to find the number of APIs you are using quickly rise. The more distributed your environment the more critical it becomes to properly govern and monitor your API traffic. The API Manager enables you easily route all your traffic through a centralized gateway and forward API request to appropriate target nodes.
In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations deploying mission-critical applications must implement robust security architectures that protect sensitive data while maintaining high availability and performance. This is especially crucial for enterprises utilizing advanced database management systems like InterSystems IRIS, which often powers applications handling highly sensitive healthcare, financial, or personal data.
IAM - InterSystems API Manager is a great tool for monitoring your traffic. If you are trying to use it in your Kubernetes cluster you may have tried doing a deployment similar to this one:
InterSystems API Manager (IAM) versions 2.8.4.10 and 3.4.3.10 are now Generally Available. These are the latest versions of the two long-term supported versions of IAM. These release contain important fixes and all customers are encouraged to upgrade.
InterSystems API Manager (IAM) versions 2.8.4.11 and 3.4.3.11 are now Generally Available. These are the latest versions of the two long-term supported versions of IAM. These releases contain important fixes, and all customers are encouraged to upgrade.
Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS
Part 3 – IAM
InterSystems API Manager (IAM) is a component that allows you to monitor, control, and manage traffic from HTTP-based APIs. It also acts as an API gateway between InterSystems IRIS applications and servers.
Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS
Part 2 – Flask App
Flask is a web development microframework written in Python. It is known for being simple, flexible, and enabling rapid application development.
Installing Flask is very simple. Once you have python installed correctly on your operating system, we need to install the flask library with the pip command. For REST API consumption, it is advisable to use the requests library. The following link provides a guide to installing flask: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/installation/
REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a standardized way for web applications to communicate with each other using HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. It's designed around resources, which can be anything from a user to a file.
