Gravitee.io is a flexible, lightweight and blazing-fast open source API Management solution that helps your organization control finely who, when and how users access your APIs.
Gravitee is an enterprise-grade, open-source API Management (APIM) platform designed to provide a single point of control for traditional synchronous APIs, asynchronous event streams, and modern AI agents. It focuses on "Event-native" management, allowing organizations to secure and govern real-time data just like traditional web services.
The main features of this tool include:
Unified API Federation: Gravitee acts as a "one-stop shop" that can manage APIs across multiple different gateways and brokers, including AWS, Azure, Apigee, and Confluent. This allows teams to consolidate their entire ecosystem into a single management pane.
Event-Native Gateway: Unlike traditional managers, it features a specialized Kafka/Event Gateway. This allows you to expose event streams securely via common protocols like REST, WebSockets, and HTTP, while applying enterprise policies such as rate limiting and traffic shaping.
AI Agent Management: It provides specialized governance for Agentic AI ecosystems. This helps organizations eliminate "agent sprawl" by consolidating and securing AI agents through dedicated agent gateways.
No-Code API Designer: The platform includes a drag-and-drop graphical designer that allows non-technical users to create and define APIs without writing code. It also automatically generates documentation and specifications during the process.
Enterprise Security and IAM: It offers robust security features, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), biometrics, and token-based identity management. This prevents APIs from becoming unintended attack vectors.
Centralized Developer Portal: All APIs, whether internal or external, can be published to a self-service portal. Here, developers can discover APIs, read documentation, and manage their own subscriptions.
High-Performance Observability: The Java-based gateway is designed to be 4x faster than traditional options. It provides detailed API analytics for monitoring traffic, performance, response times, and error rates with instant alerts for development teams.
DevOps and GitOps Ready: Gravitee supports Kubernetes-native deployment models and allows teams to define API policies and configurations as code, integrating seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines.
Predictable Pricing: Unlike services that charge per call, Gravitee offers a model with unlimited API calls and events for a single monthly price, providing better budget certainty.
