What is an API Gateway?
An API Gateway is a wrapper for a service that separates the front-end interface from the backend service or data and applies policies, authentication, and general access control to protect valuable data.
Benefits

Prevent Unauthorized Access
APIs deliver strong business value, but can also present a serious business risk if your data is compromised. The TIBCO Cloud™ API Management API gateway prevents unauthorized access to your production data and backend systems.

Secure Data Transmission
Access control is just one layer of security. The TIBCO Cloud™ API Management platform also ensures that all data-in-transit is fully encrypted to protect against attempts to monitor or intercept it.

Control API Traffic Spikes
Define security and runtime policies for API traffic so you stay in complete control of your assets. Security and API behavior is managed through endpoint policies such as authentication, throttling, and caching that optimize API runtime performance.

Choose from Hybrid Deployment Options
Manage your API traffic in the SaaS cloud, on-premises, or any combination of the two. Deploy your API gateways as required to align with the needs of your business and your app infrastructure.

Event-driven API Microgateway
TIBCO Flogo® Enterprise—the commercial, fully supported version of the open source Project Flogo® framework, is a microgateway that works seamlessly with TIBCO Cloud™ API Management software to enable developers to create API-led and event-driven microservices. This embeddable microgateway can then be deployed to any infrastructure: on-premises, at the edge in devices, and in web-scale serverless environments.
