Private Cloud 7/15/2020

Support for Node.js proxies and secure vaults

Since 2013, Apigee has supported the use of Node.js proxies within Apigee Edge through the use of Trireme, which enables you to run your Node.js code within Apigee Edge for Private Cloud and expose it as an API.

Apigee recommends Private Cloud customers take the following steps:

  • Migrate data in secure vaults to Encrypted Key Value Maps (KVM) to access sensitive data from an API proxy.
  • Migrate Trireme (Node.js) based API proxies to a native Node.js environment outside of Apigee.

Public and Private Cloud 7/15/2020

Support for OAuth V1 features.

Since IETF RFC 6749 has become the standard that replaced OAuth 1.0a, the maintainers of the OAuth v1.0a standard recommend that users switch to OAuth v2.0.

Deprecated policies include:

  • OAuthv1.0a policy
  • GetOAuthV1Info policy
  • DeleteOAuthV1Info policy

For improved security, Apigee recommends that Private Cloud customers migrate to using the OAuth v2 policies as soon as possible.

7/15/2021 4.50.00
Public and Private Cloud 7/15/2020

Support for the Concurrent Rate Limit feature

The Concurrent Rate Limit policy was designed to be used with slow backends, however, the architecture used by it affected the performance of the APIs.

Since the Concurrent Rate Limit's announcement, Apigee has added newer capabilities such as chaining proxies together and shared flows. If you are experiencing slower performance with Concurrent Rate Limit policy, you can try using Spike Arrest instead.

You can read more details in our usage notes page.

Using such features along with policy, will allow you to protect slow/sluggish backends without impacting the performance of the APIs.

Migrate proxies using the Concurrent Rate Limit policy to the Quota policy and/or the Spike Arrest policies.

Public and Private Cloud 7/15/2020

Support for Istio by integrating with Istio Mixer

In March this year, the Istio community announced deprecation for Istio Mixer. The Istio Mixer component is critical for the functioning of the Apigee adapter for Istio, which is why we redesigned the Istio adapter to use native Envoy filters (see envoy filter and HTTP filters) to integrate with Apigee.

Apigee announced the beta release of this feature in the API management for services that use Envoy blog post, in addition to the Apigee Adapter for Envoy overview).

Apigee recommends that you migrate to Apigee adapter for Envoy as soon as possible.

Private Cloud 7/15/2020

Support for the Teams early access feature

The early access program for the Teams feature in Apigee has been canceled, and the Teams feature will be removed from Private Cloud.

If you are using Teams, Apigee recommends replacing the team entities and the permissions associated with those teams with custom roles. The roles can be granted to the same set of users that comprised the team to replicate the desired team structure.

Apigee announces the deprecation of the Apigee Edge API Backend-as-a-Service (API BaaS) feature.

The API BaaS end of life (EOL) will be June 30, 2019. Apigee will continue to operate and support API BaaS until June 30, 2019, subject to the terms of our deprecation policy. Read more in this blog post, in the Deprecation and End of Life announcement, and in Guidance for migrating from Apigee API BaaS.

Note that the API BaaS Android push notifications functionality is reliant on Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), which will reach end of life on April 11, 2019. Please be advised that we will not upgrade the Apigee API BaaS solution to use the new Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) system, as this would require customers to migrate to this new messaging system while also planning to migrate off Apigee API BaaS altogether before June 30, 2019.

We recommend that Android push notification customers start their planning to migrate off of Apigee API BaaS for this functionality before April 11, 2019.
