Is APISIX a load balancer?

As I understand (from your post, below) APISIX is a load balancer. If I have a simple app with nginx in front that is not being a balancer then I do not know how the app would know where to send requests? I read it somewhere that this can be done from IP but not sure and this does not appear to be explained in the tutorial on their page which says "You can configure the service to work as a web server but we will show you how it can work both ways". Would you need load balancing if you would want to scale nginx with more servers? Say for 50 or 100 clients simultaneously? Load balancer. In computer networking, a load balancer is a network element that transfers incoming client requests to one or more servers. So no, an APISIX Server is not a load balancer. It's not designed to act as one, nor do its features include any form of scaling. It's built for delivering services.

You don't really need to scale nginx with more servers, because a single instance of Apache 2.4 and nginx can handle 50,000 requests per second each. As well as serving static content you can easily add functionality for things like SSO and CORS handling, CDN, media streaming etc - all without increasing your application's footprint at all.

How to use Apache APIsix?

Introduction.

Apache Apex provides an environment to automate the entire deployment lifecycle. This includes, but is not limited to: Initial setup. Configuring the environment. Deploying applications. Enabling the management of users and data. Integration with other services like databases, web servers, message queues, etc. This document will give you a broad overview of the Apex deployment process. Prerequisites. There are several prerequisites for running an Apex environment, which are all detailed in the Oracle WebLogic Server 8.1 Administration Guide.

Java Developer Kit (JDK). Apex requires Java 6 or 7. If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server 8.x, you will need JDK 1.0 or 1. To find out more about which JDK to use, please read the following article:

Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Apex requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE).0 and the JRE 5.0 or 5. To find out more about which JRE to use, please read the following article:

Oracle WebLogic Server version 8.x You can find out what version of Oracle WebLogic Server is installed by entering weblogic -version. You can also find out the name of the server instance by looking at the output of the following command: wlsutil -name -instance.

Setting up the Environment. To start your environment, first install Apex by selecting Installation Options, then install the Apex Web Console. When you have completed the installation, start the console. The first thing you need to do is to set the directory structure to point to the database where your data and application reside. The database instance and directory structure that you have selected will be used in this example.

How to start APISIX dashboard?

I am currently working on a proof of concept application for APISIX and I was wondering how I should start to create the dashboard?

The main feature I want to achieve is that it should have 5 sections: Top left: a menu where I can choose what information I want to display (for example, the list of apps and which ones are installed). Left: the information about each app. Right: the information about the devices and their status. Bottom: a section with useful links. I know this is not too much to ask but I would really appreciate some tips and suggestions on how to start out. Thank you! Answer: One thing I always like to do before jumping into the dashboard concept is to understand what a good dashboard should look like and then decide if my app matches that. Also I often try to figure out which kind of data my app should be collecting first. For the APISIX dashboard this means that I want to have at least the following kind of data available in the dashboard:

Top level information about my server (server name, ip address, http status code). Status of each app (in the dashboard this information would be shown as a icon for each app). A list of apps (including the state of each app). The data for the dashboard should be static. The data that APISIX gets from your server should be collected in realtime or whenever needed.

If you have any questions about how I like to build a dashboard please feel free to ask in the comments. Hi, we're very sorry for the inconvenience. We've made an exception and added the top 5 apps and top 5 locations for you to view today. All of your data is also still available in the search area of our site, as well as the API's that we provide. We're making sure to make this a permanent change and update for the upcoming months and years to come. We hope you have a fantastic day!

This is a perfect tutorial! I don't have any experience with APISIX but I have been trying to understand how to use it in my own project. I'm using the dashboard functionality for the first time to see what it is all about.

Question: I've noticed that some info that is collected about my own server is not available in the dashboard (e.

Is APISIX better than Kong?

The only direct comparison I have seen of APISIX and Kong is here.

I found it odd that the comments were not even mentioned by either party.

One reason for comparing the two, is that they are based on 2 different concepts - Kong is a "server-as-a-service" software providing both services (API management and server instance). APISIX is a software offering (web/mobile app) as well as a platform which manages your servers (and therefore API keys as per the article).

As far as features go - I found them both lacking. I'd suggest starting off with Kong from a basic point of view and then only look at APISIX from a full feature set point of view. Of course, you can't do this without some tests - I use an online platform called Pingdom which enables me to monitor my servers so this way I could see if my services kept running and whether my API's would work or not etc.

It may well be that for your application only 10% of APISIX' features are of any use and you could use this to reduce cost of the platform. You could easily compare your needs against just Kong and if it still seems worth the effort, investigate APISIX.
