Technical support & customer success

A team behind every Enterprise deployment.

Community runs on our docs, forum, and guides. Enterprise adds the people — support engineers, a named success manager, and hands-on onboarding — so your platform stays healthy from first install to production scale.

Technical support

Reach the engineers who build Apinizer. Enterprise support runs 8×5 in your timezone or 24×7 for mission-critical workloads, with response-time SLAs matched to your severity levels.

  • Dedicated channels — email, Slack, support portal
  • Severity-based response-time SLAs
  • 8×5 regional or 24×7 follow-the-sun coverage
  • Production incident escalation

Customer success

A named Customer Success Manager owns your outcomes — from first deployment through renewal. Quarterly business reviews keep adoption, capacity, and roadmap aligned with your goals.

  • Named Customer Success Manager
  • Quarterly business reviews
  • Adoption & capacity planning
  • A direct line into the product roadmap

Onboarding & enablement

Start strong with hands-on onboarding. Architecture reviews, migration assistance, and team workshops get your platform team productive on Apinizer in weeks, not quarters.

  • Guided installation on K8s, VM, or Docker
  • Architecture & security reviews
  • Migration from Kong, Apigee, MuleSoft, Layer7
  • Live workshops and team training

Professional services

Add-ons for the deployments that need a hand.

Migration services

Hands-on migration from Kong, Apigee, MuleSoft, or Layer7 — including policy translation and rollout planning.

Security review

Apinizer security engineering audits your deployment, pen-tests the gateway, and reports per ISO 27001.

Custom connector

Need a connector outside the 15+ supported set? Apinizer engineering builds and maintains it for your contract.

Embedded engineering

An Apinizer engineer embedded in your platform team during a major rollout — typically 3 to 6 months.

Plans & licensing

  • What's the difference between Community and Enterprise?
    Community is the core Apinizer gateway, free to self-host, with up to 3 API proxies. Four capabilities are Enterprise-only: the AI Gateway, the API Developer Portal, API Analytics, and API Integration. Everything else — the API Gateway, Identity Manager, API Designer, and API Creator — is identical across both. Enterprise removes the proxy limit and adds commercial support and sovereign deployment.
  • Is Community really free?
    Yes. Community is free to self-host with no time limit — for evaluation, internal tools, and small production deployments. You download it, install it on your own infrastructure, and run it under the Community license.
  • Can I upgrade from Community to Enterprise later?
    Yes. Community and Enterprise are the same codebase — upgrading is a license change, not a migration. Your configuration, manifests, and proxies all carry over. Talk to sales when you're ready to lift the proxy limit or turn on the AI Gateway, Developer Portal, Analytics, or Integration.

Free download

  • How do I get the free version?
    Fill out the short form on the download page. We'll email your Community license file (apinizerLicense.txt) right away, along with links to the installation guide.
  • Where can I install Apinizer?
    Anywhere you run containers — a Kubernetes cluster, a plain virtual machine, or Docker. The Community and Enterprise distributions install the same way; the installation guide walks through each path step by step.
  • What does the 3-proxy limit mean?
    A proxy is a published API endpoint that Apinizer routes and governs. Community lets you create up to 3 at a time — enough to evaluate the platform or run a small set of services. Enterprise removes the limit entirely.

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, and vLLM. The list expands every release.
  • Can the AI Gateway run on Community?
    No. The AI Gateway is an Enterprise capability. Community ships the REST / SOAP / gRPC / GraphQL gateway plus the API Designer and API Creator tooling.
  • How does the prompt firewall work?
    Prompt firewalls run as policies on the request path — semantic guards for jailbreak / injection / off-topic, PII detection, and custom redaction. Decisions are audited at the same persistence layer as your REST traffic.

Support & deployment

  • What support does Enterprise include?
    Technical support 8×5 in your timezone or 24×7 for mission-critical workloads, response-time SLAs, and a named Customer Success Manager. Onboarding, architecture reviews, and migration assistance are part of the engagement.
  • Can we run Apinizer air-gapped?
    Yes — air-gapped and sovereign deployment are first-class Enterprise scenarios. The Worker makes no calls home and the Manager carries no hidden cloud dependency.
  • Do you help us migrate from another gateway?
    Yes. Migration from Kong, Apigee, MuleSoft, or Layer7 — including policy translation and rollout planning — is available as part of an Enterprise engagement.
