Hello, Most API Gateways advertise themselves as API Lifecycle Management products. In that regard, Apache APISIX is lacking. My use-case is quite straightforward.
The company has front-end and back-end developers. With the help of the business, they agree on an OpenAPI spec. Then, they go on developing their part. As a frontend developer, I want to be able to develop independently from the backend part. For this reason, a couple of mock servers have popped up: you feed them with the OpenAPI spec, and they serve the data in the example section of the spec. Apache APISIX has two ways to mock data: 1. The mocking <https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/plugins/mocking/> plugin. It's unrelated to OpenAPI, you need to mock everything by hand 2. Import the spec <https://apisix.apache.org/docs/dashboard/IMPORT_OPENAPI_USER_GUIDE/> from the APISIX dashboard. You need additional extensions in the spec, it's one shot (there's no continuous change management) and it doesn't mock anything. I'd like to propose a way for Apache APISIX to: - Manage an OpenAPI spec - By default, serve the example section in the spec - Be able to replace the example by real upstream - Dynamically mirror the changes in the spec file Please let me know if you think it's a worthy feature.
