Overview of this book

IBM API Connect enables organizations to drive digital innovation using its scalable and robust API management capabilities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. With API Connect's security, flexibility, and high performance, you'll be able to meet the needs of your enterprise and clients by extending your API footprint. This book provides a complete roadmap to create, manage, govern, and publish your APIs. You'll start by learning about API Connect components, such as API managers, developer portals, gateways, and analytics subsystems, as well as the management capabilities provided by CLI commands. You’ll then develop APIs using OpenAPI and discover how you can enhance them with logic policies. The book shows you how to modernize SOAP and FHIR REST services as secure APIs with authentication, OAuth2/OpenID, and JWT, and demonstrates how API Connect provides safeguards for GraphQL APIs as well as published APIs that are easy to discover and well documented. As you advance, the book guides you in generating unit tests that supplement DevOps pipelines using Git and Jenkins for improved agility, and concludes with best practices for implementing API governance and customizing API Connect components. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to transform your business by speeding up the time-to-market of your products and increase the ROI for your enterprise.

Developing a GraphQL API follows similar practices to other REST APIs but there were a few wrinkles in how you look at developing a Product plan due to cost factors. You learned that those cost factors provide you with details on how to set up the rating limits in your plan. Adjusting weights at the type level or field level will help determine the cost of your GraphQL API. You also learned how to remove fields from the schema to remove information that you do not wish your consumers to access.

GraphQL is not for every implementation and it certainly doesn't replace your REST APIs, but it does provide benefits in situations where the client needs to determine...
