Layer7 API Management

  • 1.  Impacts of Large API response messages

    Posted Jul 14, 2017 07:58 AM

    Hi

     

    We are consuming third party API via Layer7. The response of this message is in large size. It could be around 10 MB. 

     

    Is this a right way to use REST API for such a huge message?

    What are the impacts on API Gateway?

     

     

     

    Regards

    Kareem

    Kareem, 

     

    We have an article which gives some tips/recommendations for optimizing the Gateway in regards to handling large files & messages:

    I hope this helps.
