Claim 4:
5. An application programming interface (API) server system that distributes configuration data to managed network devices, the API server system comprising a processing system comprising one or more processing units implemented in circuitry and configured to:
receive, via a network, configuration data to be deployed to at least one of the managed network devices from a controller device that manages the managed network devices, the API server system being separate from the controller device, the network communicatively coupling the API server system to the controller device;
store, via the network, the configuration data to a configuration database device, the configuration database device being separate from the controller device, the network communicatively coupling the API server system to the configuration database device, and the configuration database device being separate from the API server system;
partition the configuration database into a plurality of slices, each of the slices representing configuration data for the managed network devices for a corresponding period of time; and
send, via the network, the configuration data to the at least one of the managed network devices, the network communicatively coupling the API server system to the managed network devices, and the API server system being separate from the managed network devices.
