For an interview of a 3+ year experienced person in APIGee development,

It is a 30 minutes interview and the position is little complex.


So,could you share some Question & Answer to be askedin this case .

What is your experience with APIGee and how have you used it in the past?
How do you handle versioning in APIGee and what approach do you prefer?
Can you walk me through the API lifecycle in APIGee?
How do you design and implement security measures in your API development using
APIGee?
How do you monitor and troubleshoot issues in APIGee?
How do you handle API rate limiting in APIGee?
Have you integrated APIGee with other systems? If so, which systems and how did you
approach the integration?
Can you explain the difference between a policy and a flow in APIGee?
How do you optimize API performance in APIGee?
Have you worked with any of the following: OAuth2, OpenID Connect, or JWT? If so,
can you explain how you have used them in your API development using APIGee?
And here are some sample answers for these questions:

I have been working with APIGee for over 3 years now, and have used it extensively
to develop and manage APIs for a variety of clients. I have experience with both
cloud and on-premises deployments, and have worked with both REST and SOAP APIs.

In my experience, versioning in APIGee can be handled in a number of ways, but I


typically prefer using the URI path approach. This involves adding the version
number to the base path of the API, such as /v1/my-api.

The API lifecycle in APIGee typically includes several stages, including design,
development, testing, deployment, and management. At each stage, different tools
and processes are used to ensure that the API is of high quality and meets the
needs of its users.

Security is a critical aspect of API development, and in APIGee, I typically use a


combination of OAuth2 and API keys to secure APIs. OAuth2 is used for user
authentication and authorization, while API keys are used to identify and track API
usage.

Monitoring and troubleshooting in APIGee involves using a variety of tools and


techniques to identify and resolve issues. This can include analyzing API logs,
using performance monitoring tools, and working with support teams to resolve
issues.

API rate limiting is a common practice in API development, and in APIGee, I


typically use a combination of quotas and spike arrests to control API traffic.
Quotas are used to limit the number of requests per minute, while spike arrests are
used to limit the number of requests per second.

I have integrated APIGee with a variety of systems, including backend systems such
as databases and message queues, as well as frontend systems such as mobile and web
applications. To do this, I typically use API proxies and connectors, which allow
me to integrate with these systems in a standardized and secure way.

Policies and flows are both key components of API development in APIGee. Policies
are used to enforce specific behaviors, such as security or traffic management,
while flows are used to define the order in which policies are executed.

Performance optimization in APIGee typically involves a combination of caching,


compression, and load balancing techniques. This helps to ensure that APIs are fast
and responsive, even under heavy load.
I have worked extensively with OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, both of which are
commonly used for user authentication and authorization in API development. I have
also used JWTs for token-based authentication and authorization, which can be
useful for stateless applications.
