Direct REST Reference Architecture White Paper

The Direct REST Reference Architecture White Paper is now provided from this release.

Direct REST allows Jade REST applications to utilize any technology or cloud service that uses HTTP to facilitate communication. This white paper provides suggestions for how Jade Direct REST services should be deployed in production environments. However, you can use any HTTP‑capable technology to fulfill this role.

While an intermediate gateway is required for external web connections, this does not preclude internal connections being made directly to the Jade REST application. This gateway can be the existing IIS web server without the use of the ISAPI module, as the web server itself does not suffer the limitations inherent when utilizing the jadehttp module. It is expected that the gateway will also provide features such as TLS termination, which are essential in a modern web environment.
