2 Proposed Solution
The main objective of this proposed solution is to reduce the risk of this api in impact the
environment performance.
2.1 Initial Assumptions
The initial drivers for this new solution are:
• Reducing the apim policy complexity by reviewing the status api script.
• Enabling the integration with backend status end point.
For this, we are considering the following solution assumptios:
• Each backend api should have a helthcheck method. (e.g. accounts/healthcheck), that should return
the current status for this api (e.g. HTTP 200 – it is ok, HTTP 500 – failure).
• Moving the healthcheck functionality from policy script to a JavaScript backend to get the general
availability for each backend api.
2.2 Status Backend API
This backend based on JavaScript API, will get the information for all the configured apis, using each hatcheck
method. We have a high-level diagram below:
