API Gateway

Apr 3, 2021

Amazon API Gateway - Amazon API Gateway offers typical endpoint management capabilities such as authentication, monitoring and so on. It supports mutual TLS (mTLS). 🌐

Apigee - Apigee, a Google company, focuses primarily on a SaaS API Mangement model. It is known both for its appealing dashboards and, sometimes, shocking bills. 🌐
CA API Gateway - CA API Gateway is a rebadged product formerly produced by a company called Layer 7 (acquired by CA). Although it was originally sold primarily as an appliance, today it is often deployed as a self-contained VM image both in cloud and on-prem scenarios. It is also increasingly offered on a SaaS basis. 🌐
IBM DataPower - Although IBM DataPower is often referred as the product that created the API Gateway market, and it is still being updated, it is often considered today a rather legacy product from a bygone SOAP era. It is offered both as an physical appliance and as a virtual machine image. 🌐
Mulesoft - Mulesoft started off as traditional ESB vendor. Its current product suite offers APIM capabilities but they are typically used in the context of a larger and richer, ESB-esque MuleSoft stack rather than as standalone, lightweight API-centric component. It is often considered a more thicker and less encapsulated solution than the competition given its Java-style platform pedigree. 🌐
