Governed integration and exposure boundary.

API is a Foundation App within the Batoi Cloud Platform that governs how platform capabilities are exposed, consumed, and integrated by external systems and services. API establishes the formal boundary between the internal control plane (BCP) and external execution environments.

What API Is

A Foundation App for controlled exposure of platform capabilities
The sole technical interface for external interaction
Identity- and policy-aligned
Fully auditable

Core Capabilities

API Lifecycle Management

  • API cataloging and versioning
  • Controlled publication and deprecation
  • Contract stability

Permission-Scoped Access

  • Role- and scope-based permissions
  • Role- and scope-based permissions
  • Explicit exposure controls

Identity-Aligned Security

  • Authentication via Identity (SSO)
  • Authorization enforced at API boundary
  • No credential sharing with internal apps

Usage Controls

  • Rate limiting and throttling
  • Quotas and consumption tracking
  • Abuse prevention

Policy Enforcement

  • Inbound and outbound policy checks
  • Context-aware enforcement
  • Approval-driven access where required

Auditability

  • Full audit trails of API access
  • Request, response, and decision logging
  • Evidence for compliance and review

Provide visibility into API usage

API ensures that no external system interacts with Foundation Apps or Studios directly.

External Interaction Model

All external interaction with the Batoi Cloud Platform - including Batoi Business Systems, partner solutions, and third-party services - occurs through:

1

APIs

2

Identity (SSO)

There are no alternate access paths.

Who Uses API

1

External Systems and services

2

Integration partners

3

Platform engineers

4

Governance and security teams

Why API Matters

Without a governed API boundary:

  • Architecture erodes
  • Governance becomes implicit
  • Portability is lost

With API:

  • Separation is enforced
  • Governance is consistent
  • Systems remain portable

API is the technical enforcement layer that preserves architectural separation, governance consistency, and long-term portability across the Batoi ecosystem.
