Apache APISIX Reviews & Product Details

Apache APISIX is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance open-source API gateway that provides rich traffic management functions such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication, and observability. Being built based on NGINX and LuaJIT, Apache APISIX has ultra-high performance with a single-core QPS of up to 23,000 and an average delay of only 0.2 milliseconds. It can solve problems in traditional architecture, and at the same time adapt to the needs of the cloud-native era. As an API gateway, Apache APISIX has a wide range of application scenarios. It can be applied to scenarios such as gateways, Kubernetes Ingress Controller, and service mesh, and can help enterprises quickly and safely process API and microservice traffic. Open-sourced and donated by API7.ai to Apache Software Foundation in 2019, Apache APISIX is now the most active API gateway project on GitHub addressing 1 Trillion+ API calls per day, which is still growing.

5/5

What do you like best about Apache APISIX?

Cheaper than KONG and WS02.

Large brands currently using the solution, included financial institutions.

Large number of PlugIns for 3rd Partys in their website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache APISIX?

As its new, it may not be as feature rich as Kong. But, given time, they will get there.

Documentations can improve, which can make it slightly challenging to implement at the start, but this is supplemented with a team who works with you very closely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid api gateway with dynamic configuration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apache APISIX?

Apisix builds on battle-tested components such as OpenResty and, by extension, Nginx. We were looking for a reverse proxy for our RestAPI and wanted the proxy to handle authentication via OpenID Connect, which Apisix seemed to be best suited for at the time. And while it did not work with the release at the time, we were able to troubleshoot the Lua code and submit a patch, which was quickly processed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache APISIX?

By its very nature, compared to Caddy or Traefik, Apisix has a much larger footprint and more extensive configuration options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, and enjoyable to use."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apache APISIX?

I greatly appreciate the ability to use APISIX within Kubernetes clusters. Users gain a direct and easy way to configure how API traffic reaches their services.

The fact that it is a project under the wing of the Apache Software Foundation is an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache APISIX?

Every project has some flaws. The ones I encountered were either in the process of being fixed, were fixed after I flagged them up, or I was able to fix them myself in the form of a Pull Request - after all, it's an open source project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
