6connect ACP Overview
API Composer Platform
6connect’s API Composer Platform (ACP) is a vendor-agnostic toolbox for developing interconnected endpoint workflows using data from one or more API service providers. ACP serves as a universal ‘glue layer’ for API-driven development, to standardize and streamline endpoint automation logic, save developer time, and increase the overall robustness of API-driven code.
...
With ACP’s graphical editor, you can easily pull in data from multiple API vendors and combine it into a new API endpoint – on the fly – with no code necessary. Easily create and visualize workflows ranging from a simple single-step endpoint up to a complicated, multi-step chain utilizing branching logic and custom javascript transformations.
ACP supports automatic rollbacks, so failure branches self-correct without the need to manually undo steps. Once you have set up a workflow, it can be reused and shared using JSON for convenience and version control.

- Contains a library of built-in connectors to many common services:
- 6connect ProVision
- Amazon AWS
- Google Cloud
- Microsoft Azure
- VMWare vCenter
- Kubernetes
- Supports cross-vendor and multi-account actions with API service providers
- Supports automatic rollbacks for most API actions, greatly simplifying development
- Speeds up execution times for multi-step tasks
- Allows new ACP Workflows to be quickly prototyped based on previous work
- Provides a centralized repository for all API-driven glue code
- Utilizes a compact JSON data format for easy sharing and support
- Contains an extensive example library
- Supports embedded Javascript for complex data transformations
- Cleanly supports iteration over complex data objects
- Provides functionality for providing user-defined connectivity to other services
Once created, ACP Workflows can be executed as a single API call to the ACP Server. Many advanced automation and integration tasks can be accomplished by pairing 6connect ACP with 6connect ProVision.
