Gravitee API Management by Gravitee.io is a flexible, lightweight open-source solution designed to manage the lifecycle of APIs from documentation to discovery and publishing. It supports synchronous request-response APIs and asynchronous streaming protocols, offering pre-built policies for rate limiting and traffic shaping. Built on Java, it is highly performant for high-volume use cases. Gravitee API Management integrates well with various gateways, including Gravitee Gateway, AWS Gateway, Solace, and Apigee, and supports a fully federated deployment. It offers advanced Identity and Access Management (IAM) and API security, including multi-factor authentication, biometrics, tokens, and password-less authentication. Gravitee API Management can be deployed on the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid model, and it supports splitting the control plane and data plane across multiple deployment types. The platform includes a drag-and-drop graphical designer for API design, a Developer Portal for API discovery and subscription, and an Alert Engine for monitoring and securing the API landscape. Gravitee API Management uses plans, applications, and subscriptions to govern API exposure, supporting common authentication types like JWT and OAuth2. It is Kubernetes native and integrates seamlessly with existing Kubernetes infrastructure using the Gravitee Kubernetes Operator.
