Evolving Enterprise Architecture: Mastering Composability with Kams Narayan
For this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, Guy and Dominic were joined by Kams Narayan, Director of Product Management for APIM at SnapLogic. We were interested to discuss what it means to have a truly API-led architecture, also known as a composable architecture, and what some of the key considerations should be when adopting this model.
SnapLogic REST API Design - Best Practices
This document provides a guide on best practices for REST API design within the SnapLogic Platform. The REST API design guidelines are a collection of API design patterns and principles that all API teams within an organisation should adhere to when developing APIs. The definition and implementation of API design guidelines are among the most influential drivers of an API strategy — fostering a consistent approach to the creation of an API platform across the enterprise.

Require API to build a pipeline to find the high CPU and memory utilization of an individual pipeline during its runtime
We are trying to design a pipeline in Snaplogic to identify the high CPU and memory utilization of an individual pipelines that ran in a month using public API. We tried using runtime API but we are not able to get the expected output. API used: “https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/public/runtime/ ” “https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/public/runtime/Environment/ ”+$Runtime_ID Is there an API for it? which can give the expected output.UPCOMING WEBINAR: From Risk to Resilience: Safeguarding Your Business with the Ideal API Gateway Architecture

REST Get Slow
Hey guys, I have built a simple REST Get process to grab some data from an API. There are about 100 URLs to call but it is taking ages. 100 URLs takes about 7 mins whereas in another software application the 100 calls takes about 25s! I have tried using the REST Get snap in a child pipeline and increasing the pool size but I’m still not getting anywhere the speed I would expect. Any suggestions?
