PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/24/13 — today announced that developers can now use the popular Node.js software platform to build highly customized application programming interfaces (APIs) and apps in the . Apigee-s new, seamless integration of Node.js significantly extends the “programmability” of Apigee — or the ability of developers to use code to create specialized APIs — and enhances its capabilities as a powerful development platform for the huge community of JavaScript developers.
“We want to give developers the best possible platform for creating today-s modern apps that deliver data and services through APIs and are consumed on a wide variety of devices,” said Greg Brail, chief architect at Apigee. “The Node.js integration delivers a new level of programmability to Apigee — with the flexibility to create APIs that can solve even the most complex orchestration and mobile optimization problems. With this, we-re extending our reach to all JavaScript developers, who can now seamlessly combine Node with everything in Apigee.”
With the new Node.js support, developers can deploy unmodified Node.js applications to the Apigee platform. On Apigee, these applications can run with the benefit of Apigee-s enterprise-grade cloud operations. Using Apigee-s powerful configuration capabilities and user interface, developers can add Apigee-s API management features, such as OAuth security and traffic management, to these Node.js applications.
Developers can also use the Node.js support to enhance existing APIs. Support for Node.js opens up new possibilities for tasks like customizing existing APIs for different devices or combining multiple slow back-end API calls into a smaller number of faster API calls.
In addition, these applications can take advantage of the tens of thousands of third-party modules that the Node.js community has already created, making new capabilities available to Apigee users.
With Apigee-s new Node.js integration, together with its API management, backend-as-a-service (BaaS), data analytics, and many other services, Apigee delivers a comprehensive platform for the development of intuitive, data-powered mobile apps as part of a complete digital strategy.
