A top level question regarding orchestration

[anonymous]

Hi everyone, Im new to this product and i need to ask a very basic question, where is recommended to implement an orchestration layer? Our needs is to mash up and orchestrate multiple endpoints, returning simplified and processed data to a mobile device.

Should it be implemented using policies in the Apigee Proxy ? Or does Apigee BaaS offer any features for issues like this?

From what i researched this kind of solution should be implemented in apigee proxy using policies, but im not sure.

Thanks !

Hi @Andres

Welcome to the community !!!

Yes - you will need to implement that using policies (Service Callout policy and JS policy) in Apigee Edge. The other option is to orchestrate that using NodeJS as the target. For more info on NodeJS, please refer to this link.

There are some good posts in the community regarding this topic -
