According to the company, businesses today are often managing tens of thousands of APIs and different teams tend to use different API gateways as well. This leads to API sprawl and makes governance difficult.

With Federated API Management, they will now be able to manage, secure, and publish APIs from a central location, regardless of which API gateway they are using.

It offers the ability to discover the APIs in use across the organization, import those APIs into a single control and management layer, and then publish them into a Developer Portal for self-service discovery, documentation, and subscription management. 

“We built federated API management because we know that various teams across a given organization leverage myriad tools to manage their APIs,” said Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee. “Even if a team isn’t using Gravitee as their API Gateway, they can still take advantage of having a central source of truth for visibility, subscription control, governance, and more.”

The company will be demoing this new solution at its virtual event Gravitee Edge 2024 this week.

Customers will now be able to create and expose a number of types of APIs from the Gravitee API creation wizard. These include REST APIs, WebSocket APIs, Webhook subscriptions, gRPC APIs, SSE APIs, GraphQL APIs, Kafka topics, MQTT topics and Solace event APIs.

The creation wizard can also now “expose Kafka, MQTT and Solace resources as REST APIs, WebSocket APIs, Webhook subscriptions and SSE APIs,” Gravitee explained.

Customers can also now enforce policies at the message level. These policies can be created in the Gravitee Policy Design studio, which is also new. 

In addition, the company added support for serialization and deserializatiron of information, with validation against target schemas that are stored in specific registries. 

“Our vision for API management is that it becomes a healthy, competitive space where companies can choose from API and protocol-agnostic API gateways and solutions,” said Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee. “Today we are advancing the category in a way that gives customers the tools they need to respond to significant business opportunities in real time.”
