Apache APISIX

Apache APISIX is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance cloud-native API gateway built on NGINX and etcd, developed by the Apache Software Foundation. It supports Lua and multi-language plugins for traffic management, authentication, observability, and security. APISIX provides a RESTful Admin API for dynamic configuration of routes, upstreams, services, consumers, SSL certificates, and plugins, and a Control API for health monitoring and schema introspection.

Apache APISIX publishes 17 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Consumer Groups API, Consumers API, Diagnostics API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Apache, API Gateway, Cloud Native, Kubernetes, and Lua.

The Apache APISIX catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Apache APISIX’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, changelog, support, Stack Overflow tag, and 19 more developer resources.
