IBM DataPower Gateway is an integration platform used as API middleware for protocols such as SOAP and REST. It’s commonly used in large organisations such as banks and Government departments, because of it’s performance and security qualities. Though it has been on the market for many years - it has a relatively powerful management API for creating, retrieving and updating pretty much as aspect of it’s configuration.
IBM DataPower Gateway is a middleware integration platform, typically used by large corporations and Government organisations, because of its security, stability and performance qualities. Developing for DataPower in a local way can be tricky; because DataPower appliances are generally quite bulky (as physical or VMWare appliances), or difficult run locally (kubernetes) - it’s often useful to run DataPower as a local docker service. A local docker deployment has most of the same capabilities as a traditional production deployment of DataPower, making it a convenient way to accelerate software development.
