APIs not visibile or administrable in WSO2 APIM 3.1.0 - wso2

We have APIs visible in QA after we did add re_indexing = 2, but the same thing won't work in our STG or PROD Environment. I am not sure how to debug this issue or where is the actual issue. Since its the same setup in all our environments and only verified and test changes are deployed to STG and then to PROD.
Any idea why its working in QA but not in higher environments.
We have checked the logs and All the APIs are correctly being added to Synapse Conf. in STG and PROD .
Also when trying to create another api with same name, then we are getting DUPLICATE API already exists.
WE are using EKS Based Implementation and Deployment pattern-2.

You can query from the solr data as mentioned in this blog post to narrow down the issue - https://medium.com/#sewmijayaweera/how-to-query-solar-data-16a7e051d5cf
If the data is not shown, the only possible option is to reindex the data in the upper environment as well.

How do I add a description to a serverless deploy call?

I have a pretty complex backend project that I deploy to AWS using the Serverless framework. The problem I'm facing is related to versioning. I have a React app on the FE, which has a version on it, but I didn't add a version to the BE for simplicity (it is the same app, I'm not exposing any special API so didn't want to deal with versioning matrices between the FE and the BE, backward compatibility, etc..) --> Is this a mistake?
When I deploy my BE code, AWS does keeps track of the deploy calls and adds versions in the Versions tab of the Lambdas page, and it has a Description property. I'd like to access that Description to at least have an idea which code is running at any given time.
I was looking at the serverless docs and couldn't find a way to send a Description up to AWS. I'm calling it like so:
serverless deploy -s integration
NOTE: I don't have CI/CD hooked up yet, but the idea would be that only checkins to a specific branch (master or develop) would do a deploy to AWS (as opposed to doing it manually on a feature branch while developing). Is this something anyone is doing?
Any thoughts and/or ideas on versioning serverless backend are appreciated.

On Prem Application migration to the AWS

We are migrating some of our J2EE based application from on-prem to the AWS cloud. I am trying to find some good document on what steps to be considered for the App migration. Since we already have an AWS account, and some of the applications have been migrated earlier, I don't have to worry about those aspects.. However I am thinking more towards
- Which App-server to use?
- Do i need to migrate DB as well..or just the App?
- Any licensing requirements for app.. we use mostly Open source.. So that should be fine..
- Operational monitoring after migrating to cloud..
Came across some of these articles.
https://serverguy.com/cloud/aws-migration/
Migration Scenario: Migrating Web Applications to the AWS Cloud : https://d36cz9buwru1tt.cloudfront.net/CloudMigration-scenario-wep-app.pdf
I would like to know If you have worked on this kind of work.. and If you point me to some helpful document/links.. or your pwn experience?
So theres 2 good resources I'd recommend for migration:
AWS Whitepaper for migration
AWS Well-Architected Framework.
The key is planning, but not being afraid to experiment. This is cloud so don't be afraid of setting an instance size in stone, you can easily change it.

Revert failed cloud foundry deploy

I'm automating app deployment to cloud foundry. So in the start command, I do a db migration. What can happen is that the migration would fail and as the result, the app will be dead. Is there some predefined strategy that can be used to rollback to the last working deployment, or I should manually store the last working version, check for failure and in that case redeploy the stored version?
The typical strategy used to deploy apps on Cloud Foundry is blue/green. This generally works like this:
Push the new app under a new name & host, like my-app-new.
Test the app & make sure it works.
When your satisfied, change the route mapping from the old app to the new app.
Delete the old app & optionally rename the new app.
Step #3 is where the cut-over happens. Prior to that all traffic keeps flowing to the old app.
This is documented more here.
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/blue-green.html
I'd say this often works well, but sometimes there are problems. Where this breaks down is with steps #1 & #2, if your app cannot have multiple instances of itself running or if migrations to your service are so different that the old app breaks when you update the database. It definitely helps if you keep this strategy in mind as you develop your app.
Aside from that, which has historically been the way to go, you could take a look at the new v3 API functionality. With v3, apps now retain multiple versions of a droplet. With this, you can rollback to a previous version of a droplet.
http://v3-apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/version/3.36.0/index.html#droplets
You can run cf v3-droplets to see the available droplets and cf v3-set-droplet to change the droplet being used.
That said, this will only rollback the droplet. It would not rollback a service like a database schema. If you need to do that, you'd need reverse migrations or perhaps even restore from a backup.
Hope that helps!
I work on very similar automation processes.
Daniel has explained the process very well. I think you're looking for the blue-green deployment methodology
1) Read up on blue green deploy here:
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/blue-green.html
2) Look at this plugin or implement blue green deploy manually:
https://github.com/contraband/autopilot
3) Blue-green restage plugin (a nice to have, in case you need to restage the app but not cause any downtime to the clients):
https://github.com/orange-cloudfoundry/cf-plugin-bg-restage
It works by creating a temporary app, copying the env vars/routes/code from the working app to he temp app.
The temp app now accepts traffic while the original app is being restaged.
the traffic moves on to the original app after it is restaged and the temporary app is deleted.

WSO2 apim 3.0.0 M6, unable to start the gateway

For 3.0.0-M6, installing as per
https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM300/Installation+Guide
and then publishing the pet store api described at:
https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM300/Create+and+Publish+an+API
Then, when trying to start the gateway, this message is received:
ballerina: no bal files in the package: org/wso2/carbon/apimgt/gateway
I've seen a an older post at
unable to start ballerina as gateway
where some developer suggested adding an environment variable to have the publisher copy data directly into the file structure of the gateway, but it doesn't describe how to set the environment variable.
Is this still a viable solution? Is there any point in installing and running the five processes locally and expect deployment of apis to work locally? It seems to me the milestone is still a few milestones away from proper testing on localhost.
The docs on this are still a bit sparse...
The documentation has been updated now on how to start the gateway [1].

Deploying Web job with appropriate environments variable

We are trying to deploy a web job via octopus. We have different eventhub keys saved in the variables and we expect the webjob to pick up the right key depending on the environment that it is being deployed to. Has one one done this before? Any advice on settings up configurations in octopus?
<========== UPDATE ===========>
We were being careless and didn't quite set our octopus process to transform the Configuration Variables. You should be able to do so by clicking 'configure variables' in the process step.
I don't think it being deployed via Octopus is all that relevant here. Generally, a .NET WebJob is able to access Azure App Setting using standard configuration API.
If that is not working for you, please update your question to clarify what you tries, and specifically what didn't work.
