An API gateway maintains a secure connection between your data and APIs, and manages API traffic, both inside and outside your company.
The Mashery API gateway provides a wide range of policies for fine-grained control over how, when, and from where your user community can access your APIs. The API Management Control Center gives you the tools to fully control your API once it is live. The traffic manager acts as an information highway “traffic cop” ensuring that your servers remain protected against unauthorized access and overloading. Define security and runtime policies for your API traffic so that you can stay in complete control of your assets. Security and API behavior is managed through endpoint policies such as authentication, throttling, and caching that optimize runtime performance of your APIs. The gateway is available in SaaS, in your own private cloud or on-prem. This allows for a single system view of all gateways, mixing embedded microgateways, on-prem, or SaaS.
What is an API Gateway?
An API Gateway is a wrapper around a service that separates the interface from the actual backend service or data, and applies policies, authentication, and general access control for API calls 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™ Mashery® API gateway prevents unauthorized access to your production data and backend systems.
Secure Data Transmission
Access control is just one layer of security. Mashery's 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
The Mashery API Gateway is designed to scale as needed to support API call volumes, but also provides a wide range of policies for fine-grained control over how, when, and from where, your user community can access your APIs.
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 open source Project Flogo®—is a microgateway that works seamlessly with TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery® to enable developers to created 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.
