One of the many great things about Akamai ProfileSync is the fact that implementation, and on-going maintenance, is largely hands-off: after the initial setup, most of the work is handled by Akamai. That said, however, in order to complete setup you must work with Akamai to configure and test the ProfileSync connector between your user profile database with the target API. That work revolves around the following activities:
- Establishing data governance
- Providing API documentation
- Establishing webhooks
- Establishing data mapping
- Verifying and validating data throttling
- Configuring your target API and your application
- Configuring the connection
- Testing with sample data
- Preparing for change control
- Establishing a monitoring procedure
- Establishing a procedure for handling the dead-letter-queue
Each of these activities is described in more detail in the following sections of this document.
