How to retrieve data from api baas?

[#1]

I am using key value mapping for retrieving some details needed for my application. But the number of keys will be increased in few months. So I am planning to use Baas for storing these values. Is it possible to retrieve data from api Baas in my api proxy? If so, how can I do that?

I want those values in my Proxy endpoint preflow. Based on that value that I retrieve from api Baas I will do some operations such as setting header values and setting up quota limits.

Hi @chockalingam

For this you will have to point your API to a node app . In the node app make a connection to the baas and retrieve the data entities from it.

Here are some of references with examples on how to retrieve collections/entities from baas

Refer :

Hope it helps

How many keys are expected?

From performance and maintainability perspective, I would suggest to continue use of KVM. FYI - KVM can have data up to MBs and are really good solution for configuration data.

Now I have made a POC which doesn't require much keys. For the real application (sass) the number of keys will be around 100K and in a year it will double.
