Whether microservices, mobile apps or partner integrations, hardly anything works today without APIs. However, as the number of interfaces increases, so does the complexity of managing them. This is exactly where <strong>Gravitee<\/strong> comes into play.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Gravitee?<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Gravitee<\/strong> is an <strong>open-source API management platform<\/strong> that helps companies design, publish, secure, monitor and monetize APIs. In contrast to classic API gateways, Gravitee pursues a strongly <strong>event- and user-centered approach<\/strong> and covers modern protocols and event-driven architectures in addition to REST.<\/p>\n\n<p>Gravitee consists of several modules, including:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>API Management (APIM)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Access Management (AM)<\/strong> for identity and access control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Event-native API management<\/strong> (e.g. for Kafka and Async APIs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Central functions of Gravitee<\/h3>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. powerful API gateway<\/h4>\n\n<p>The Gravitee Gateway is the heart of the platform. It performs tasks such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Routing and load balancing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT, API keys, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rate limiting and quotas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transformation of requests and responses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Thanks to a <strong>plug-in-based architecture<\/strong>, the gateway can be flexibly expanded.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. developer portal (Developer Portal)<\/h4>\n\n<p>An integrated developer portal enables internal and external developers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discover and test APIs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>View documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request access to APIs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This not only improves the developer experience, but also accelerates the adoption of new APIs.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. security and governance<\/h4>\n\n<p>With Gravitee, APIs can be centrally secured and controlled. Features such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fine-grained access controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Policies for compliance and security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with identity providers (Keycloak, Auth0, LDAP etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>help to comply with company and data protection requirements.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. monitoring and analytics<\/h4>\n\n<p>Gravitee offers comprehensive <strong>real-time analyses<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traffic statistics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Response times and error rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usage by consumer or application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This data is essential for optimizing APIs and identifying problems at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gravitee vs. other API management solutions<\/h3>\n\n<p>Compared to solutions such as Apigee, Kong or WSO2, Gravitee scores particularly well:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Strong open source orientation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support for <strong>event-driven APIs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intuitive user interface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible deployment options (on-premise, cloud, Kubernetes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Gravitee is a particularly exciting choice for companies that not only want to manage REST APIs, but also <strong>async and event-based architectures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical application scenarios<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Development of a central API platform within the company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Securing microservices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening APIs for partners and customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Governance and monitoring in hybrid cloud environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n<p>Gravitee is more than just a classic API gateway. It is a <strong>modern, flexible and expandable API management platform<\/strong> that covers both current and future requirements. Thanks to its open source, modular architecture and focus on events, Gravitee is ideal for companies that want to set up a sustainable and future-proof API strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APIs are the backbone of modern software architectures.
