Lab Architecture

The API Lab is structured around a microservices architecture, leveraging an API Gateway to streamline and manage requests across various services. This setup enhances scalability and simplifies maintenance. The lab utilizes Postman and cURL for in-depth API testing, allowing for precise validation and simulation of API interactions. Additionally, it includes a 5G Core environment to assess Service-Based Architecture (SBA), providing a thorough platform for evaluating API performance and interoperability within a contemporary 5G network context. This comprehensive setup ensures robust testing and performance insights for both API and network components.

Why this Lab ?

Designed for beginners, this immersive experience guides participants through the foundational principles of API development, focusing on HTTP methods, endpoints, and status codes. Through hands-on simulations, individuals gain practical skills in RESTful design, authentication, and error handling. The lab simplifies data transmission over HTTP, introduces key tools like API gateways, and emphasizes real-world scenarios, empowering participants to confidently start their API journey.
