Abstract: Conventionally, users of integration platforms, or other platforms that utilize many different services, must install, manage, configure, and administer the underlying resources for connectivity with the platforms. Adapter orchestration as a service (AOaaS) simplifies this process by enabling users to quickly and easily deploy an adapter orchestration service comprising instances of selected adapters for multiple services in discrete, autonomous containers that can be spun up and down as needed. The adapters may translate data for all of the services to a common format. Clients may access the data for all of the adapters in the adapter orchestration service via a single application programming interface (API) of the adapter orchestration service, which provides access to the data in the common format.

Abstract: A method of configuring a hybrid, multi-cloud gateway configuration system for executing an application programming interface (API) may comprise receiving, via a network interface device of the API service control plane system, gateway operation policies in a first format for execution of an API at a first gateway type and a second gateway type, generating via one of a plurality of gateway type policy translators and transmitting to a gateway of the first gateway type, a first configuration file in a second format, instructing the gateway of the first gateway type to provision the API to meet the gateway operation policies, and generating via another one of the plurality of gateway type policy translators and transmitting to a gateway of the second gateway type, a second configuration file in a third format, instructing the gateway of the second gateway type to provision the API to meet the gateway operation policies.

Abstract: An information handling system operating a serverless elastic-scale application programming interface (API) gateway management system may comprise a network interface device receiving gateway operation policies, in a first format, for execution of an API at a gateway, and a processor generating a gateway configuration file, in a second format, via one of a plurality of gateway type policy translators, instructing the gateway to provision the API to meet the gateway operation policies. The information handling system may also comprise a network interface device to transmit the gateway configuration file to the gateway and receive an indication that an API call was made at the gateway, and a service level agreement (SLA) monitor to determine a call rate at which API calls are made at the gateway exceeds a preset rate limit defined within the operation policies, and transmit an instruction to the gateway to reject the API call.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing recommended mappings to a mapper for use in designing an integration flow in a design time of a cloud-based integration service. A database can store mapping records from a plurality of sources, and mapping records inferred from the extracted mapping records. Each mapping record in the database can be associated with a rating generated by a ranking engine. A recommendation engine can be invoked to retrieve one or more mapping records from the database and an auto suggestion engine, for graphical display in the mapper. The integration flow can be published, and mapping information therein can be parsed by the recommendation engine into one or more mapping records, which are persisted into the database to update the mapping records in the database.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for decoupling a source application and a target application using a messaging service associated with a cloud-based integration service. A first integration flow can be provided to enable the source application or producer to publish messages to the messaging service. A second integration flow can be provided to enable the target application or consumer to subscribe to the messaging service to receive messages. The source application and the target application can be agnostic of each other's implementation details, and those of the messaging service, which effectively decouples the source and target applications. The system enables objects between the source and target applications to be sychronized, multiple applications to subscribe to the integration cloud service and register for updates, and one or more applications to be added or removed as subscribers without affecting other subscribers or producers.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for provisioning cloud services across heterogeneous computing environments. A plurality of provisioning instructions stored on a configuration management server can be partitioned into a plurality of ranges. A plurality of client nodes connected to the configuration management server can be configured into a plurality of groups, each group providing one or more computing environments on one or more virtual machines for hosting a cloud service. Each computing environment in a particular group can be associated with a provisioning instruction launcher that specifies a particular range of provisioning instructions. When a virtual machine in a particular group reboots, the computing environment on the virtual machine searches for the latest provisioning instruction in the range corresponding to the particular group.

Abstract: Methods and systems for supporting multiple deployment models for enterprise business applications, are described. In one embodiment, the method may include designating pillars associated with an enterprise business application. Each pillar may include application units which comprise logical groupings for application units used in the enterprise business application. The method may further include determining which of the application units are dependent to more than one of the pillars. Furthermore, based on the determination of the dependent application units, the method may generate deployment code associated with the dependent application units which is configured to be deployment model independent. The method may then receive, at deployment time, a deployment model designation indicating a type of deployment model selected to be used for the enterprise business application. Then, the enterprise business application may be deployed according to the deployment model designation.
