Key Skills Required

A question that quickly arises when configuring IAM (aka Kong Gateway) is how many routes should be created to reach all the business objects in an IRIS API.

A common mistake is to create one route per business object, unnecessarily multiplying the number of routes.

Let's take the example of the Supply Chain Orchestrator Data Model API:

Hi everyone,

I am currently setting up InterSystems API Manager (IAM) 3.4.3.11 using Docker. The installation is successful, the license is active, and I can access the Manager (port 8002).

I am now trying to secure the Administration Portal using basic-auth. I've found some documentation stating that I should:

1. Go to the Teams section in the UI.
2. Click on Invite Admin to create the first user.
3. Only then, enable KONG_ENFORCE_RBAC and KONG_ADMIN_GUI_AUTH in the docker-compose.yml.

InterSystems API Manager (IAM) is a core component of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, offering centralized API management with a strong emphasis on security. IAM simplifies the entire API lifecycle, from creation to retirement, and provides a developer portal for easy API discovery and integration. Access control features allow administrators to define precise permissions, and IAM seamlessly integrates with the IRIS Data Platform, enhancing data management and integration capabilities.

Features of IAM include:

Introduction

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.

One of the recommendations when deploying InterSystems Technologies for production is to set up High Availability. The recommended API Manager for these InterSystems Technologies is the InterSystems API Manager (IAM). IAM (essentially Kong Gateway) has multiple deployment topologies.

If you are looking for high availability you could use:

a) Kong Traditional Mode: Multiple Node Clusters

b) Hybrid Mode

c) DB-less Mode

Before we break them down let's first understand the out of the box deployment that is provided by InterSystems: Installing IAM Version 3.10.

🛠️ Managing InterSystems InterSystems API Manager (IAM = Kong Gateway) configurations in CI/CD

🔍 Context: InterSystems IAM configurations 

As part of integrating InterSystems IRIS into a secure and controlled environment, InterSystems IAM relies on Kong Gateway to manage exposed APIs.
Kong acts as a modern API Gateway, capable of handling authentication, security, traffic management, plugins, and more.

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. Each resource is identified by a unique URL, and interactions with these resources are stateless, meaning each request from a client to a server must contain all the information needed to understand and process the request. This statelessness, along with the use of standard HTTP methods, makes REST APIs highly

Hi community,

A few weeks ago I published an API accelerator call Memoria, Is a very simple way to minimize the time and network traffic to and end-point, I hope could be useful.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that IAM 3.10 has been released. IAM 3.10 is the first significant release in about 18 months, so it includes many significant new features that are not available in IAM 3.4, including:

Kong provides an open source configuration management tool (written in Go), called decK (which stands for declarative Kong)

• Check that decK recognizes your Kong Gateway installation via deck gateway ping

deck gateway ping

Kong version:  3.4.3.11

• Export Kong Gateway configuration to a file named "kong.yaml" via deck gateway dump

deck gateway dump -o kong.yaml

• After modifying the IP adcresses in kong.yaml file, show the differences via deck gateway diff
