Number of Portals per Environment

[Pratyush Singh]

Hi All,

I have a below query as below:

1.) How many number of API Developer Portal we can configure per Environment , like for DEV or QA or PROD , do we need 1 Portal for each or just 1 portal for all environment (DEV, QA and PROD) ?

2.) Do we have such recommendations in API Portal or API Gateway Document, if yes please share the link.

Just wanted to know the Pros /Cons of it . So please help accordingly.

Best Regards
Praty

Hi.

If it is Dev Portal 3.5 it need to be one portal to one gateway.

On portal 4.x you may have different strategies (considering on premises configuration):
a) one portal server for each environment ( each env has your own server )
b) one portal server with one tenant for each environment (each env has your own tenant on a shared server) 
c) one portal server with one tenant and multiple proxy gateways configured. (one server has one tenant and each environment is a different proxy gateway)

The option C is the scenario used to explain the Deployment Types

The approach will depend on various aspects like company security rules (e.g.: dev and qa envs cannot share resources with production) and api publish type ( Portal Published?, Gateway Published?  mixed?)
