Upcoming possible interruptions to API Management, to bring you new capabilities!

EDIT: Interruptions should be completed and new features implemented. Please see below for links to more information about this!

I don’t know how many remember a time when it felt like every website was merely a single image promising that there would soon be some content available, and to check back soon. Today, consumers expect much more, rich content from the start, and full-time availability, and with good reason.

We endeavor to meet these expectations, but sometimes, in order to bring you the latest and greatest, we must perform some operations that may temporarily interrupt service. So this is a warning to users of SAP Cloud Platform, API Management that in the coming week, between February 20th and 26th there may be some infrequent periods of interruption. We will do our best to minimize them.

The good news is, these interruptions are coming due to a rollout of a major update, both to the Runtime. and more importantly for you the users, to the Design Time.

A bit of a teaser as to what will be available right after upgrade, we will be adding two new capabilities:

• API Metering — Blog by Shruthi Arjun on Usage Metering in API Management

• API Policy Templates — Blog by Sven Huberti on how to use templates

Please check back soon… as I will link to Blogs written on how to use these new features when they are available in Trial.
