I think I understand what API Mgt is and Orchestration. E.g. SAP PO and SAP CPI allow Orchestration.
I was reading the following statement:
Modern applications and changes in protocols and message designs also started to influence the ESB. A more lightweight integration components started to emerge, known as the API Gateway. An API Gateway doesn't have the overhead of adapters or the complex integration functionality of the ESB but still allows encapsulation and provides the management capabilities to control, secure manage and report on API usage.
Reading this is all a little vague imho. The following:
Does an API Gateway not allow for Orchestration? I think it does, as AXWAY state this in https://www.axway.com/en/products/api-management/gateway. I guess my point is what does the phrase from above "An API Gateway doesn't have the overhead of adapters or the complex integration functionality of the ESB ...". That said, may be such products are doing this for microServices and for the REST APIs we need to use separate products?
E.g. having read https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/api/what-does-an-api-gateway-do it is unclear to me if orchestration of REST API's is possible with an API Gateway or if this is only for MicroServices possible?
SAP CPI is clearly Orchestration, but is it part of API Mgt or API Gateway? I think the latter.
When I look at Amazon API Gateway it states nothing about Orchestration.
