What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gravitee helps us centralize and govern our API ecosystem. Before implementing it, we had multiple APIs across our organization but no unified API management platform, except for a limited scope where we used MuleSoft. This made it very difficult to have a clear view of our ecosystem, especially in understanding which applications were consuming which APIs. As a result, managing dependencies, enforcing standards, and ensuring governance across teams was complex.
With Gravitee, we now have a single platform that provides full visibility into our API landscape. We can clearly identify which applications are calling which APIs, which significantly improves control, traceability, and governance.
Gravitee also allows us to secure our APIs in a consistent way. We implemented Gravitee Access Management to replace Keycloak and now use OAuth2 to secure our APIs. This provides a unified approach to authentication and authorization across our ecosystem, simplifying security management.
In addition, we leverage the Kafka Gateway to govern and secure access to our Kafka cluster. One major benefit is that Kafka APIs are managed in the same way as REST APIs within Gravitee. Applications can subscribe to them through the same platform and use the same authentication mechanisms, which simplifies adoption and ensures consistency across different types of APIs.
Finally, integrating Gravitee with our CI/CD pipeline allows us to automate deployments, reducing manual effort and improving reliability.
Overall, Gravitee enables us to run our API ecosystem much more efficiently by improving visibility, strengthening governance, standardizing security, and providing scalable management capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
