Why Layer7 is good when starting and still good when it's largely adopted.
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We are mainly using Layer7 API Management as a security gateway. Our customers are able to expose internet legacy and internal services to a new partners, delegating the authentication, authorization, data transformation, analytics and security controls to Layer7 practically without modifying their current software. It is used as a OAuth server or as a point for identity verification.
Pros
- SOAP to Rest / Rest to SOAP web services transformation.
- Secure authorization and authetication (JWT, OpenIP Connect, OAuth, SAML and more). WASP Features as injection protection.
- Easy rule writing without coding.
Cons
- It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for publishing internal services with very high security, protecting against attacks, and managing on-demand load. Also good for transform messages and SQL to Rest services.
Not appropriate for business logic implementation.
