Frequently Asked Questions

What is API management?

The practice and tooling for publishing, securing, monitoring and governing APIs across their life cycle, including gateways, developer portals, analytics and policy enforcement.

API gateway or API management platform?

A gateway handles runtime traffic such as routing, authentication and rate limiting. A management platform adds design, portals, lifecycle governance and analytics around the gateway.

What is the Kubernetes Gateway API?

A Kubernetes API for configuring traffic routing that is replacing older Ingress for many uses. Several gateways and meshes implement it.

Which entries changed?

The Kubernetes Gateway API and Envoy Gateway were added. The list otherwise keeps the earlier 27 platforms, with Akana now part of Perforce.
