Publishing and deploying

[venkatagirivatl]

What is the difference between publishing and deploying in API world context?

[#2]

Publishing is related to Developer Portal and Deploying is related to hosting a service.

In Apigee when you deploy the proxy, that means the proxy is now hosted in RMPs and is able to handle the traffic.

When you publish an API that is normally in Developer portal, that means now Developers can see the API document in Developer portal with interactive documentation.

Great answer. You are awesome. You are increasing my learning potential to quadrupled. By the way what is RMP?

RMP in Apigee is router and message processor. These are the major components for your real time traffic.
