Combining applications in businesses’ operational frameworks is a vital building block in a digital transformation strategy. API management stands out as a practice that enables efficient integration and data movement between applications. Conventional API Gateways face issues with sub-optimal execution order that leads to stagnation in system responsiveness and scaling. Performance API Gateways like KrakenD use workflows to refine the order of execution, enhance latency, simplify API calls, and improve overall systems interaction.

As a premier system integrator and an accredited partner of KrakenD, Massil leverages the Workflow functionalities of KrakenD to construct dependable, scalable, and streamlined APIs. With the integration of the KrakenD API Gateway into enterprise infrastructures, Massil improves the efficiency of API execution, allowing enterprises to dynamically respond to digital interactions while ensuring robust security. 

Understanding KrakenD Workflows

The algorithm in a workflow performs multiple API requests in a single API call, which is a significant enhancement in controlling data processing and aggregation. This innovation improves API call efficiency. In this regard, KrakenD workflows provide developers with the ability to:

• Organize different API calls according to their interdependencies.
• Build chains with specific execution sequences.
• Fine-tune the responses sent to the client for optimal structuring.
• Reduce the number of API calls made to the server to improve the speed of processing and lessen the load on the system.

This is where KrakenD helps organizations tailor their strategies by providing an adaptable, high-performing infrastructure through API-driven architectures. 

Why Execution Order is important in API Management

In default API management configurations, APIs are usually invoked in parallel or sequentially, depending on an application logic or algorithm. This poses a few challenges:

• Latency Problems: The APIs that are called in a poorly structured sequence may cause delay in processing and retrieval of information.
• Increased Server Load: The additional API requests amplify the strain on back-end technologies, such as computing and network resources.
• Discrepancy Problems: When APIs have no definite order of sequences that should be followed while executing them, the client would receive inconsistent data sets which would lead to faulty conclusions and confusion.

KrakenD helps solve these problems with its workflow functionality by offering a way to set the order of API executions to avoid dependent requests clashing into one another, allowing for requisite ordering without additional work. 

Implementing KrakenD Workflows for Advanced API Management

Integrating KrakenD features into an enterprise architecture, streamlines API runs. With KrakenD workflows, Massil assists enterprises to:

1. Reduce Latency with Optimized Request Handling

With the workflow capability, API calls can be arranged in a manner where the appropriate order circumvents unnecessary calls. Massil undertakes workflow tuning to mid and lower API calls to focus on primaries to cut back on turns in queues and improve response time.

2. Improve API Security by Managing Execution Order of API Calls

Strategically employing the use of workflows-level API queries improves organizational security. With workflows, security-related API calls like authorizations and tokens are performed before any other operation of business-critical data to ensure that only valid requests will be accepted onwards leading to low risk of abuse and access to services.

3. Enhance Data Management through API Aggregation

API aggregation is one of the most important functions in microservices architectures. Through KrakenD, Massil can build workflows that optimize API calls as aggregates, fetching data in one call rather than multiple, minimizing the external call. This enables enterprises to better utilize system resources and provide timely and accurate information to users.

4. Enhance Scalability with Adaptive API Execution

As companies expand, their APIs need to scale at the same pace. Massil uses KrakenD workflows to configure business execution orders dynamically according to real conditions. This flexibility guarantees efficient API usage even when traffic and complications with integration rise.

5. Enhance the User Experience with Well-Structured API Responses

User-facing applications depend on responsive well-structured APIs to deliver proper experiences. Massil adapts the KrakenD workflows such that all API responses are structured and extraneous elements are eliminated while vital elements get emphasized. This results in improved application performance and optimized user experience.
