Why Apinizer

One platform to govern every API and AI request — on the cluster you already run.

Apinizer is the unified API & AI Gateway platform for banks, ministries, defense, telecom, and the operators next to them. One Manager. One Worker. Ten modules under one license. On the Kubernetes — or OpenShift, Tanzu, or VMs — you already run.

  • BDDK, KVKK, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 ready
  • AI Gateway shipped — multi-LLM, MCP, A2A

Apinizer at a glance

  • 100+ regulated organizations — Banks, ministries, defense, telecom
  • 60–70% lower 5-year TCO — Versus IBM DataPower and Layer7 references
  • 15K+ RPS per node — 1–3 ms median latency
  • 10 modules, one license — Gateway, Identity, Portal, AI Gateway, and more

Full lifecycle API & AI management — one Manager, one audit trail — across eight lifecycle stages: Design, Build, Test, Secure, Deploy, Govern, Analyze, Monetize.

Platform pillars

One gateway for human and agent traffic

REST, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, GraphQL — and LLM, MCP, agent-to-agent — governed by the same gateway, the same audit, and the same permission model. No second runtime to operate.

Audit at the persistence layer

Every read, write, and deploy in the Manager is captured at the framework boundary. Bypass is rejected by design — not by team discipline. APIops, the Manager UI, the Portal subscription approvals, and AI Gateway route changes share the same enforcement path.

Sovereign by default

The platform runs on the customer's Kubernetes. No call home. No hidden cloud dependency. Air-gap is supported on day one — not in a future tier.

Multi-team independence on one platform

Per-project Gateway Path. Four roles (Owner, Manager, Developer, Viewer). Server-side permission enforcement. Unlimited teams running their own work side-by-side under shared infrastructure.

Manage dozens of environments from one console

Each Environment is a Kubernetes Namespace — isolated CPU, RAM, and network. The same proxy can run version 1.0 in PROD-EU and version 1.1 in PROD-TR at the same time. No second Manager.

Picked over the giants

Customers switch to Apinizer from IBM, Broadcom, Kong, and modular OSS stacks. Each alternative has its place. What we hear from teams that move is the same: fewer license stacks, fewer specialist hires, and a platform that fits regulated operations without three layers of integration.

  • Replacing IBM (DataPower, API Connect) — 60–70% lower 5-year TCO
  • Replacing Broadcom (Layer7) — 55–65% lower 5-year TCO
  • Replacing Kong (OSS + Enterprise) — Single license, every module included
  • Replacing modular OSS (Tyk, Gravitee, APISIX) — No Dashboard, Portal, or Cockpit upsell

Migration without surprises

Strangler pattern, side-by-side validation, OpenAPI / Layer7 / API Connect import presets, bilingual co-pilot. Rollback is one click — not a war room.

  • From Kong — Plugin-by-plugin mapping. The Apinizer policy pipeline covers the Kong plugin surface without writing Lua.
  • From Layer7 — Policy translation, manifest import, and a side-by-side validation window. Audit trails port over.
  • From IBM DataPower / API Connect — XML / SOAP heritage stays intact. The Apinizer multi-protocol gateway handles SOAP and REST on the same runtime.
  • From OSS gateways — Tyk, Gravitee, APISIX — consolidated under one license, one operational surface.

The Apinizer difference

Why the platform — not just the gateway — matters in regulated work.

Built where regulation lives

Banks, ministries, defense agencies, and the operators that work next to them. The defaults reflect what auditors and regulators actually want to see on review day.
