While the world isn’t fully “moving past” REST, SOAP, synchronous, request/response style communication, there is a growing need for many organizations to begin introducing asynchronous forms of communication and APIs. This need is driven by many factors, chief among them the expectation of real-time customer experiences, the need to make microservices more reliable and scalable, and the explosion of new market opportunities around IoT, 5G, AI/ML, and monetizable real-time data. However, legacy API Management solutions either don’t support these new communication styles or they offer support that leaves a lot to be desired–which leaves organizations in a modernization bottleneck. Gravitee has introduced a new kind of API Management: event-native API Management. Going to production with Gravitee as your APIM platform means you get all of the traditional benefits of API Gateways and Security solutions (rate limiting, policy application and enforcement, API governance, etc.) with native, single-gateway support for: Modern protocols and API styles (i.e. Websocket, Webhook, MQTT, SSE, etc.) in addition to traditional protocols and API styles (HTTP, REST, SOAP, etc.) Native integration to event brokers (e.g. Kafka, Kinesis, Solace, RabbitMQ, HiveMQ, etc.) Mediation between different protocols and API styles (i.e. REST over Kafka or Websocket over MQTT) The AsyncAPI specification across the entire lifecycle of the API Policy application at both the API call and message levels Monetization of real-time data streams And more... In a nutshell, Gravitee enables technical teams to govern, secure, and expose APIs as products that drive positive customer experience, brand reputation, compliance, and revenue for the business–no matter where you are on your API or modernization journey.
