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.

What sets us apart
Six reasons regulated teams pick Apinizer.
Most API gateways are pieces of a platform — packaged, priced, and operated separately. Apinizer is the platform itself: every surface governed by the same audit trail, the same identity, the same permissions — on the cluster you already run.
One platform — not ten add-ons
Gateway, Identity, Portal, Analytics, Cache, Monitoring, API Creator, Designer, Integrator — under one license. Most competitors sell each module separately and stitch them with their own glue.
All 10 modules, one license, one Manager — deployed as modular Helm charts.
Modern + legacy in one runtime
REST, SOAP/XML, gRPC, WebSocket, GraphQL, SSE, MQTT — and now LLM, MCP, agent-to-agent. Mediation, transformation, and policy stay identical across surfaces. No second runtime to operate.
JOLT · XSLT · Groovy · visual mediation — switch protocols without rewriting clients.
Compliance is the default — not a tier
Audit trail, RBAC, three-tier permissions, encryption, KVKK / GDPR / BDDK / PCI-DSS / ISO 27001 controls are baked into the framework. Bypassing them is rejected at compile time, not by convention.
One-click compliance reports · immutable change history · per-role data masking.
Sovereign by default
Runs on your Kubernetes, your OpenShift, your Tanzu, or your VMs. Air-gapped supported, not bolted on. The Worker phones nothing home; the Manager carries no hidden cloud dependency.
Same artefacts on K8s + VM workers — federated under one Manager.
Low-code productivity, high-code escape
Visual designer for routes, policies, mediation, and lifecycle. Groovy / JS / JOLT / XSLT for the moments you need code. Most teams ship in days, not quarters — without hiring Lua, NGINX, or proprietary-policy specialists.
DB-2-API · Script-2-API · OpenAPI-first design — first proxy live in under five minutes.
Built where the regulators live
Banks, ministries, defense agencies, and the operators that work next to them — that's where Apinizer was sharpened. The defaults reflect what auditors and supervisors actually demand on review day.

How we compare
Picked by teams replacing IBM, Broadcom, Kong, and modular OSS stacks.
Each alternative has its place. Below is what we actually hear when customers move to Apinizer — including the migration window and five-year cost delta from the last 24 months of replacements.
Replacing
IBM DataPower / API Connect
IBM
Where they fit — Strong XSLT / WS-* legacy and IBM ecosystem (MQ, CICS, IMS) — at appliance prices.
Where Apinizer wins
- Kubernetes-native, not container-as-an-afterthought
- GraphQL · gRPC · WebSocket · SSE · LLM in the same gateway
- GitOps · CI/CD · API-as-Code without a custom toolchain
- Visual no-code/low-code instead of XML policy authoring

Replacing
Broadcom Layer7
Broadcom
Where they fit — XML-heavy estates with deep Layer7 expertise already in the building.
Where Apinizer wins
- Modern protocols (gRPC / GraphQL / WebSocket / SSE) shipped, not roadmap
- Native AI Gateway — token quotas, prompt firewall, multi-LLM routing

- Modern Developer Portal with try-it-out, SDKs, monetization built-in
- 1–3 ms latency · 15,000+ RPS per node

Replacing
Kong (OSS + Enterprise)
OSS / Lua
Where they fit — Cloud-native microservice estates with strong DevOps + Lua expertise.
Where Apinizer wins
- Developer Portal, Analytics, RBAC included — no Enterprise upsell
- SOAP / JMS / DB-2-API legacy mediation without external plugins
- BDDK · KVKK · PCI-DSS · ISO 27001 controls out-of-the-box
- Visual policy designer — no Lua / NGINX / Go specialists required
- End-to-end API lifecycle — versioning, deprecation, monetization

Tyk · Gravitee · Apache APISIX
Modular OSS
Where they fit — Greenfield projects with engineering-led API ownership and small estates.
Where Apinizer wins
- All-in-one — no Dashboard / Portal / Cockpit license stack
- Three-tier permissions and project isolation in core, not Enterprise
- Compliance-grade audit trail by default — not a community plugin
- Native multi-tenant RBAC across teams, projects, environments
- Productized migration path with side-by-side validation

Migration outcomes
Real teams, real cut-overs. No re-platform fairy tales.
Three anonymized references from the last 24 months. Each migration ran side-by-side with the legacy gateway until the final cut-over, with bilingual support and a co-piloted rollout plan.

How the cut-over works
Strangler pattern, side-by-side, one phase at a time.
Typical duration·Small <50 APIs · 2–4 weeks·Large 200+ APIs · 4–6 months
Phase 01
Side-by-side validation
New APIs land on Apinizer first. Critical legacy APIs run in parallel — Strangler pattern, zero-downtime migration. Roll back at any point.
Phase 02
Bulk policy + spec import
OpenAPI / Swagger / Layer7 / IBM API Connect specs import into Apinizer with policy mapping presets. Manual rewrites are the exception, not the rule.
Phase 03
Phased decommission
Dev → QA → Prod with approval gates and one-click rollback. Pruvasoft migration team co-pilots the cut-over windows. Old vendor lights go off in phases, not in panic.
