Apigee API Engineering: Practical Design, Security, and Lifecycle Management on Google's Platform

By: Jones, William D.

Apigee API Engineering: Practical Design, Security, and Lifecycle Management on Google's Platform is a hands-on guide for architects, developers, and platform engineers who want to design, operate, and scale enterprise-grade API platforms with Google's Apigee. It demystifies Apigee's architecture and core components, explains deployment options, and provides pragmatic strategies for achieving high availability, multi-tenant isolation, extensibility, and resilient networking across distributed environments.

The book's core focuses on effective API proxy engineering, advanced security, and performance tuning. Readers will learn modular proxy design and policy pipelines, traffic mediation techniques, and support patterns for REST, SOAP, and gRPC. It also delivers deep, practical coverage of authentication and authorization, threat protection, compliance controls, certificate lifecycle automation, and robust debugging and observability practices needed to secure and optimize real-world API traffic.

Beyond implementation details, the book covers the full API lifecycle: productization, versioning, and automated CI/CD releases; developer portal architecture and self-service onboarding; and analytics-driven operations and developer engagement. Real-world case studies and advanced scenarios-integrating service mesh, hybrid cloud, legacy modernization, and regulated-industry requirements-round out the guidance, offering actionable best practices for building reliable, scalable Apigee-based API platforms that drive digital transformation.
