- Embedded engineering — An Apinizer engineer embedded in your platform team during a major rollout — typically 3 to 6 months.
Frequently asked
Plans and licensing
- Can I start with Open and upgrade later? Yes. Open is the same codebase as Pro and Enterprise — upgrading is a license change, not a migration. Configuration, manifests, and proxies all carry over.
- Is the Open tier really free? Yes. The Community license covers self-managed deployment for evaluation, internal tools, and small production setups. There is no time limit.
- How is Pro priced? Pro is sold annually based on your environment count and traffic profile. Talk to sales for a quote — pricing depends on the deployment target and the AI Gateway usage profile.
Deployment
- Where does Apinizer run? On your Kubernetes cluster. Standard Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, VMware Tanzu, Rancher RKE2, AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE are all supported. Container images are rootless.
- Can we run Apinizer air-gapped? Yes — air-gapped deployment is a first-class Enterprise scenario. The Worker carries no calls home; the Manager carries no hidden cloud dependency.
- What are the resource requirements? Three reference topologies: Test/PoC (2 servers, under 500K requests/day), Professional (5 servers, 500K–3M requests/day), High Availability (12 servers, over 3M requests/day). Detailed sizing comes from a discovery session.
AI Gateway
- Which LLM providers are supported? OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, Gemini, Vertex AI, Cohere, Mistral, Hugging Face, Llama, xAI, DashScope, Cerebras, DeepSeek, Ollama, Databricks, vLLM. The list expands every release.
- Can the AI Gateway run on Open? No. AI Gateway requires Pro or Enterprise. The Open tier ships the REST / SOAP / gRPC gateway only.
- How does the prompt firewall work? Prompt firewalls run as policies on the request path — semantic guards (jailbreak, injection, off-topic), PII detection, custom redaction. Decisions are audited at the same persistence layer as REST traffic.
Support
- What's included in Pro support? Email and Slack channels with the Apinizer team, 8x5 in your timezone. Standard SLA for response times.
- What does Enterprise support cover? 24x7 with a named Customer Success Manager. Custom SLA for response and resolution. Quarterly business reviews and roadmap influence.
- Is professional services available? Yes — migration, security review, custom connectors, and embedded engineering are sold as add-ons on top of Pro and Enterprise.
