Service Gateway

Challenge

Modern organizations are adopting services to quickly bring existing capabilities to market, create new capabilities from existing assets and enable a growing mobile workforce. But adopting services remains costly, requiring significant development effort and infrastructure to ensure their effectiveness and availability.

Solution

Peregrine streamlines Service API management by hosting services natively in .NET runtime

Full-featured managed services hosting

Peregrine delivers a full-featured managed services host written on Microsoft .NET that offers tracking and reporting.

• Create service APIs through graphical configuration
• Configure failover URLS for alternative service routing scenarios
• Assign WSDL or Swagger documents with hosted service APIs
• Import existing WSDL/Swagger documents for external discovery
• Expose/consume and discovery service APIs using WS-Discovery
• View real-time service API rates and usage
• Provides stateful inspection of service messages
• Apply Service Policies for failure operations, availability limits and retries

Configurable Service API routing

Peregrine Service Broker enables you to quickly and easily configure service API routing based on either message content, context or ambient properties within the environment.

• Achieve simple dynamic routing based on rules, environment variables or even .NET code
• Route service requests based on defined business processes or hierarchical topic-based messaging
• Use the Business Process designer to create complex routing logic that can be dynamically updated and centrally maintained
• Use security credentials and tokens to dynamically route requests to backend services or applications
• Orchestrate services by dragging shapes into the Business Process Designer

Simple and flexible API management

Peregrine Service Broker makes it easy to deploy service APIs and updates, track requests in real time, and monitor overall system health. Service Broker is built on Microsoft’s Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and supports all of WCF’s features and extensibility points. Peregrine features include:

• Full-featured service host for SOAP, non-SOAP (e.g. WCF Bindings) and REST service APIs
• Service Orchestration through Peregrine’s Business Process Designer
• Message-initiated routing to existing SOAP, non-SOAP (e.g. WCF Bindings) and REST service APIs
• Dynamic routing of service APIs based on content, context, rules or environment variables
• Protocol and security mediation from connectors through processing and back
• Payload mediation to enable data transformation, translation and encoding services
• Support for exposing WSDL or Swagger based Service APIs
• Support for type-agnostic Service APIs
• Service control policy functionality, including retries, intervals, failure conditions and actions, and service API availability
• Sample patterns for location transparency/generic onramp, service versioning, and scatter gather
• Support for custom WCF Bindings, WCF Behaviors and WCF config files
