The Apigee Service Broker offers three different plans:
- The
org
plan: Theorg
plan allows for the use of the Apigee public or private cloud to proxy an application. This plan usesroute-services
to redirect traffic coming into Cloud Foundry to an Edge proxy in the cloud before being directed back down to the target application. - The
microgateway
plan: Themicrogateway
plan allows a user to launch Apigee Microgateway as a separate application in a Cloud Foundry to proxy an application. This plan usesroute-services
to redirect traffic coming into Cloud Foundry to the Apigee Microgateway application before being directed to the target application -- reducing the network latency that occurs in theorg
plan. - The
microgateway-coresident
plan: Themicrogateway-coresident
plan allows a user to launch Apigee Microgateway in the same container as their target application. This plan does not need to useroute-services
in that traffic will not need to be redirected to a separate container or cloud url. By using themicrogateway-coresident
plan, users will see the lowest latencies (as there are no extra network hops) as well as better scalability in that every new application instance will be started with Apigee Microgateway alongside it.
