Paul R. De Buck

I am part of the team which care for the API Gateway (WSO2 API Manager) inside the European Commission. The API Gateway allows developers team to easily expose their APIs from within the Commission's network, to the outside world, via a single secure, fast and reliable entry point. It also promotes reusability, through a Store of APIs developers can subscribe to. My job includes:

- Creating and deploying a new environments of the WSO2 API Gateway solution on our servers

- Using Ansible script, setting up a distributed highly available, scalable set up.

- Customizing the open source project to integrate with our infrastructure (7 custom components)

- Managing and monitoring current environments (8VMs per env) ACC, PROD, INTRA & STRESS, TST

- Prometheus & Grafana: Infrastructure level monitoring (CPU, Load, RAM, HDD read/write, uptime etc)

- Filebeat & Kibana: Log level monitoring

- WSO2 logs: Out Of Memory, errors, warnings

- HTTP Logs: HTTP Status code, url, context, version, time, API down, high latency, etc.

- Dynatrace: Full stack monitoring: Java machine, garbage collector activity, memory allocation etc.

- Every monitoring triggers an alert when outside normal operating range and action are taken appropriately

- Creating documentation and providing first hand help for people to use the API Gateway

- Confluence, Git README.md

- Making short videos (< 5mins) explaining, high-level, the main API Gateway concepts, and satellite API Gateway services

- Level 3 support

- Helping with onboarding new projects to use this new paradigm of Stateless APIs with our API Gateway service, increasing reusability

- Integrating with our own OAuth2 OpenID Connect provider (EULogin) for token (JWT) based authentication for stateless APIs

- Mostly using: Java, JavaScript, Terminal/bash (Linux), REST & Swagger def., web techs.
