Building Solutions with Apigee X
Modernize your APIs for the cloud with Apigee X
Course overview
In this course you will go through the Apigee journey as a product lead for a new application.
You will take roles on the development and security teams. You will take an API originally designed for an on-premises legacy application use and modernize it for the cloud using Apigee X.
You will follow Google Cloud best practices alongside Apigee X to design a secure, scalable and resilient platform for your company’s needs.
What you'll learn
- Secure the backend of your legacy application using mutual TLS
- Design applications with an API first design using the OpenAPI specification
- Integrate your API proxy with the Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API
- Best practices for site reliability with Apigee using monitoring and logging
- Modernize application deployment using Cloud Run and Cloud Build
- Authentication using API Keys and Firebase Authentication with Apigee
- Harden APIs using Apigee Policies and Cloud Armor
- Mitigate external threats with reCAPTCHA Enterprise
- Leverage Apigee Analytics to show custom data capture and reporting
- Leverage Cloud Code in your development environment to locally emulate Apigee
- Use Apigee Integration to improve connectivity with other services in Google Cloud
