In this blog service plan of API Management capabilities of Integration Suite and their usage are described.
- API Portal Route Service Plan helps you managing the Cloud Foundry applications or micro services by applying policies like Quota, Spike Arrest.This service plan is required if you have a micro service built and deployed on the SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry environment and you would like manage it using API Management in such way that even while calling the actual micro service URL ( not the API Proxified URL), Cloud Foundry router will ensure that API Management is invoked first. With this functionality, irrespective of whether the API Proxified URL or the actual micro service URL is called , API Management policies will be always enforced. This functionality is only available for APIs developed & deployed on Cloud Foundry environment.
