Gravitee

Gravitee API Management gives an organization one place to decide who reaches its APIs, when, and on what terms. It covers the whole lifecycle, from registering an API in a few clicks to documenting it, publishing it and watching the traffic that arrives at it.

A deployment is made of a gateway, an administrative console, a developer portal and a backend serving both interfaces. The quick setup in the repository starts all four next to a MongoDB database through Docker Compose or a make target, and Helm charts cover Kubernetes. Gravitee Cloud offers the same product hosted, with a free trial.

Traffic shaping and consumer management are the core of the product.

• Policies: more than fifty prebuilt policies shape the request flows reaching the gateway.
• Plans: rate limits, quotas and security rules are defined per plan and attached to an API.
• Developer portal: a catalog with a custom theme, full text search and API documentation.
• Analytics: ready-made dashboards, custom ones, and metrics exported to Grafana or Kibana.
• Applications: consumers register applications, with dynamic client registration linking to access management.

The local Docker setup exposes the portal, console, gateway and backend on separate ports behind default admin credentials that should be changed immediately. An enterprise license, supplied as a file or a base64 environment variable, unlocks the commercial features layered on the open source distribution.
