This course provides a comprehensive introduction to building, managing, and securing microservices using Apigee. Designed for developers, architects, and DevOps professionals, this program covers the fundamentals of microservices architecture, API gateway patterns, Apigee platform usage, policy implementation, service mediation, and securing communication between microservices. Through hands-on labs and real-world use cases, participants will gain the skills to enable scalable, secure microservices architecture with Apigee.

• Basic understanding of REST APIs
• Familiarity with HTTP methods, JSON, and XML
• Some prior exposure to Apigee or microservices is helpful but not mandatory

• Design and deploy API gateways for microservices
• Apply key Apigee policies for mediation, security, and routing
• Manage microservices traffic through Apigee
• Secure communication between internal and external services
• Analyze and troubleshoot service performance using Apigee analytics

• Microservices architecture fundamentals
• API gateway patterns and best practices
• API proxy design and deployment with Apigee
• Service orchestration and transformation
• API security and traffic management
• Apigee Edge and Apigee X usage
• Monitoring, analytics, and performance optimization

• API proxy and policy management
• Service orchestration and routing logic
• Security (OAuth2, API keys, JWT)
• Traffic and rate limiting policies
• Monitoring and analytics for microservices

ProgNXT Certification will be awarded upon successful completion of the training and evaluation.
