API & Integration
Connected Apps. Governed APIs. Scalability.
ANKASOFT designs and implements API and integration architectures that make your applications, data sources, and third-party services work together reliably using Kong and open standards your team can own.
01 - API Gateway and Management
One front door for every service. One place to govern all of them.
- Centralised API gateway covering internal microservices and external partner APIs.
- Authentication and authorisation enforced consistently across all endpoints.
- Rate limiting and traffic shaping to protect backend services from unexpected load.
- Full API analytics so you know what is being called, by whom, and at what cost.
02 - Event-Driven and Asynchronous Integration
Systems that respond to what happens rather than stalling.
- Event streaming architecture designed for your volume and latency requirements.
- Service decoupling that prevents cascade failures across your system landscape.
- Replay and audit capabilities so no event is ever unrecoverable.
03 - Enterprise System and Third-Party Integration
A comprehensive way of connecting all your tools.
- Integration design that accounts for the actual reliability behaviour of each connected system.
- Error handling and retry logic that makes partial failures visible and recoverable.
- Data transformation and mapping that preserves integrity across system boundaries.
- Full documentation so your team understands every integration they maintain.
04 - API Developer Experience and Lifecycle Management
APIs your developers will want to use. And APIs your team can actually manage.
- OpenAPI specification design and validation as part of the development workflow.
- Developer portal implementation for internal and partner API consumers.
- API versioning strategy that enables evolution without breaking changes.
- Lifecycle management processes from design through deprecation.
FAQ before an API and integration engagement.
We assess each existing integration on its own merits. Some are worth keeping with light improvements. Others have architectural problems that make them worth replacing. We don't recommend rebuilding something that works. We do recommend replacing something that creates ongoing operational risk, and we explain the reasoning clearly before any decision is made.
Yes. ANKASOFT is a Kong-certified partner. Kong is our default API gateway recommendation for organisations that need enterprise-grade governance across a microservices landscape. We implement Kong Gateway, Kong Mesh, and the Kong Developer Portal as part of our API management practice.
Legacy system integration is a specialism. We work with organisations that have core business logic running on systems that were not designed for the integration patterns modern architectures require. This often involves custom adapter layers, file-based integration where necessary, and wrapping legacy functionality in API contracts that the rest of your architecture can consume cleanly.
Security is built into integration design from the first conversation. This includes mutual TLS between services, OAuth2 and API key management through the gateway, secrets management for credentials, and network-level isolation for sensitive data flows. We design for zero-trust by default.
