Apiary overview

It is worth noting that although Oracle acquired Apiary in January 2017, the partnership between both companies started way before that. For this reason, the integration of both products was already in place prior acquisition and launch of Oracle APIP CS.

This integration is explained in far more detail in Chapter 3, Designing the API as it shows from design to publication how Apiary and the Oracle API Platform are used together seamlessly.
