Deutsche Bank shares how it adopted Google Cloud's Apigee as its central API management platform to modernize away from monolithic systems. The post covers four key capabilities: unified governance via an API catalog, security modeled on least-privilege employee onboarding using OAuth2 and API key management, resilience through load balancing and circuit breakers, and observability via unified dashboards. It also discusses how the existing Apigee infrastructure positions the bank to adopt emerging standards like MCP and A2A for AI-agent workflows, and closes with practical lessons learned around documentation, security, and planning for future integration needs.
