The Problem
- The absence of standardized IT environment management interfaces leads to substantial operational burdens and insufficient disaster recovery support.
- The lack of unified integration standards causes disorganized interface integration, with many systems lacking a centralized management platform, resulting in the offline management of multiple interfaces.
- Business systems allow unauthorized access and transmit sensitive data without encryption, increasing the risk of data leakage. Additionally, the reliance on Dubbo for most interfaces complicates system integration.
- The lack of proactive detection for API invocation issues between business systems hinders rapid problem resolution. The monitoring system is inadequate, and alerts across business areas are untimely, leading to a passive IT response.
Our Solution
- Deploy a centralized API platform with multiple API gateways in the production environment. It provides advanced features including rate limiting, circuit breaking, SSL encryption and decryption, timeout alerts, and access control, along with WAF protection, data encryption, and attack defense capabilities.
- Build a unified integration platform for data interoperability. This platform features an API gateway for authentication, security control, and policy management, along with API platform deployment. The gateway will ensure interface security, enhance Dubbo usability, and address multi-environment challenges.
- Establish unified integration and operational standards, including technical standards , management standards, security standards and operational standards, streamlining overseas interface management and integration.
- Open and share interfaces via a unified API portal, which includes a documentation center, API monitoring and management, a project center, and full lifecycle management for online control of interface assets.
- Address internal system heterogeneity through service orchestration, including service adaptation, data transformation, and protocol conversion. Reorganize APIs to address specific business challenges effectively.
