Locations of Data and Systems
The Locations of Data and Systems Canvas maps where data resides and where API producers and consumers operate. This ensures the API platform architecture supports regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, and efficient network interactions.
Detailed guide related to APIOps Cycles phase:
API Platform ArchitectureHow to Use:
- Map Data Locations:
- Identify where your data (both master and copies) resides within the following scopes:
- Company Network: Internal systems and storage.
- Partner Network: Systems managed by third-party providers or collaborators.
- Country Network: Data localized for specific geographies.
- Global Network: Cloud or international data systems.
- Identify where your data (both master and copies) resides within the following scopes:
- Map API Producers and Consumers:
- For each network scope, list the API producers and API consumers:
- Producers: Teams or systems providing the API.
- Consumers: Teams, applications, or partners consuming the API.
- For each network scope, list the API producers and API consumers:
- Analyze Regulatory and Network Constraints:
- Assess compliance requirements, such as GDPR or country-specific data localization laws.
- Identify network limitations or inefficiencies that could affect API delivery.
Output:
A comprehensive view of data and system locations, regulatory considerations, and consumer-producer interactions to guide platform architecture decisions.
