Simple, robust and scalable architecture

Simplicity of the Sentinet API Management Platform is the foundation of its robustness and efficiency, enabling flexibility, ease of use, straightforward deployment, and effortless day-to-day operations.

Step 1

Using API Management Portal , Sentinet Users register backend APIs in the API Management Portal using Wizards, Swagger/OpenAPI imports, or design them from scratch with an interactive API Designer.

What’s unique

Independent APIs Registrations

Sentinet is the only API Management product that offers registration of the backend APIs independently from the Gateway APIs, resulting in the unique flexibility and efficiency to reuse the same backend API for multiple different Gateway APIs and API versions. You can even design a Gateway API that smartly aggregates multiple backend APIs

Step 2

Design Gateway API

Using API Management Portal Sentinet User designs a virtual Gateway API as a façade for the registered backend API(s).

What’s unique

Independent APIs Registrations

Gateway APIs can be designed from “a one-click” to every little detail. The same gateway API can be hosted on different Gateways and can aggregate multiple backend APIs.

Step 3

Dynamic Gateway Updates

API Gateway heartbeats to the API Management Portal application via Sentinet Management API to pull its latest configuration.

What’s unique

Automatic Gateway Configuration

API Gateways dynamically create, update or remove their APIs without Sentinet User’s manual deployments or configuration file uploads. Gateways never directly connect to API Catalog, making it possible to deploy them anywhere in the same or even different networks.

Step 4

Comprehensive API Monitoring

PI Gateway sends monitoring, recording, logging and tracing information to the API Catalog via Sentinet Management API

What’s unique

Asynchronous and Reliable Monitoring

API Gateway delivers requested monitoring data asynchronously from the Business API calls. Performance of the Business API calls is not affected.

Step 5

Realtime & Historical Monitoring

Sentinet Users monitor API calls in real-time or through historical logs and reports.

What’s unique

Extensible Built-in Monitoring

Sentinet offers comprehensive built-in monitoring, logging, and tracing options with unlimited extensibility via .NET code.

Step 6

Publish Documented APIs

Developer Portal Users access publicly or private APIs, complete with documentation, samples, and the monitoring of their individual API subscriptions.

What’s unique

Open-Source CMS Portal

Sentinet includes API Developer Portal, a customizable and white-labeled Content Management System built on top of the world’s most popular open-source .NET-based CMS.
