API Management 3.0

Attention: This documentation is a work in progress for the public beta version of API Management 3.0, planned for the May 2025 SnapLogic release. We would love to hear from you, provide feedback using the button at the bottom of the page.

API Management 3.0 (APIM 3.0) is the next generation of the API Management product. With a modern intuitive interface, APIM 3.0 enables you to manage functionality and assets using a service-based architecture. You can achieve a composable enterprise that adapts to changing business needs with the following characteristics:

Modular: Breaking business requirements up into small, independent domains and exposing the solutions as Services enables your organization to more easily manage, change, and update them.
Interoperable: Connecting business domains through Services attains secure, uniform communication and enables the sharing of business-critical data.
Reusable: Defining Services and the rules to be applied at execution as separate entities support reuse and re-purposing to quickly create new business applications.

SnapLogic offers a robust platform for integrating data and applications by creating pipelines and deploying them as tasks, which can be executed from URLs. APIM 3.0 adds the following benefits:

The ability to manage security, governance, and access.
Relieves clients from the need to understand the implementation by separating the API contract from the implementation.
A consistent way of handling native and external endpoints, which can even be part of the same Service.
Provide a good user experience to Service consumers and transparent discoverability.
Control costs while maintaining a high quality of service.

The main components of APIM 3.0 are:

ServiceManager: An intuitive interface to manage the lifecycle of Services and Policies that govern their execution. This provides a secure way to expose Triggered Tasks, Ultra Tasks, and external endpoints.
DeveloperHub: A fully customizable portal for exposing published Services. Internal and external consumers can easily browse Services, view their specifications and documentation, and use them.

In APIM 3.0, Services and Policies are Snaplogics assets that you save in a project or shared folder, similar to tasks and pipelines. You can store the associated tasks and pipelines in the same folder for ease of access and organizational consistency. Services reference their associated tasks, enabling you to manage them independently and reuse them.

As shown in the following screenshot, ServiceManager includes:

The Services Catalog and Policy Catalog provides controls to view and define Services and the Polices that contain rules for authorization, validation, and routing.
The Site Manager provides a drag-and-drop interface to create an attractive DeveloperHub where internal and external customers can find and consume Services.

Catalog Stats as shown in the screenshot above, offer a usage overview. Per Service metrics (not shown) also offer visibility into usage and performance. For published Services, Monitor shows metrics such as the total number of requests, errors, and latency.
