31 -1. Gateway runtime
32 -The Gateway has a separate runtime where the associated gateway flows are deployed in. The exit gates and all entry flow are the typical flow types present in this runtime, next to the usual infrastructure flow
33 -2. Location runtime
34 -The Gateway runtime is located in a Cloud machine, and is specifically put on the Connector machine. The Connector machine has the ability to allow incoming data (secured) traffic from outside the Virtual Private Cloud that each client has. The Core machine does not have this option due to security reasons. The eMagiz Cloud handles the proper and secure routing to the API gateway.
35 -3. Gateway only runtime
36 -These are system that act as application user of 1 or more operations made available in the API Gateway. In case the system is only connected in the Design phase as such an application user, than that system only acts as input for User Management. The system doesn't need to be deployed as a runtime on the Connector machine, and should therefore be placed on an excluded machine. In the picture above, Exact online is such a system.

40 40  Single lane setup in eMagiz means that all runtimes are provided once in the architecture diagram * there is no failover or clustered approach for the runtimes. For the API Gateway, this means that you have the following machines available. In this example, you have the messaging patterns components as well with the objective to see such cases as well.

49 49  Double lane setup in eMagiz means that all runtimes are provided at least twice in the architecture diagram * there is a failover for the JMS runtimes and gateway containers. For the API Gateway, this means that you have the following machines available. In this case you need to make sure that the flows are duplicated properly across the containers in Deploy * Containers. By default eMagiz will spread all flows over both gateway containers.

56 56  The choice to create a double lane API gateway is to be done where there is a requirement for very high performance around response times and throughput. Please contact eMagiz to discuss such options.
