In our last blog, we discussed the connectivity solution – Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) which was a preferred method for connecting monolithic applications. In this blog, we will discuss the role of an API gateway in today’s modern distributed world. We’ll also compare ESBs with API gateways and discuss how these connectivity solutions can co-exist to support both legacy and modern applications.

Moesif offers self-service analytics for everyday use, as well as features that aid with cost-effective analytics expansion. Customers use it to monitor features to better understand when there are API difficulties, and there are extra features to determine who is using the API, how often they use it, and who is likely to discontinue using it based on how they use it.

In this blog post we’ll help answer the age old question, “What does this service talk to and what does it say?” We’ll see how to inspect inbound and outbound REST API calls to see what calls are being made and what incoming traffic causes a reaction. This can be pretty handy when you’re taking over maintenance of an existing service, or if your code just isn’t behaving the way you expect.
