Zerq is an enterprise API gateway and management platform built for regulated industries. It gives operations teams, platform engineers, and compliance officers one place to govern API access, connect applications and AI agents, onboard partners, and maintain a full audit trail — without sprawling across multiple tools or locking into a single vendor. The problem we solve Most enterprises managing APIs in regulated environments face the same challenges: access control spread across multiple tools, no single view of who called what and when, AI agents bolted on with separate authentication stacks, and partner onboarding that takes weeks instead of hours. When auditors ask questions, the answers are scattered. Zerq was built to fix that. One gateway, one set of rules, one place to look. What Zerq does Zerq provides a unified gateway for both traditional applications and AI agents — the same credentials, the same rate limits, the same audit trail for everything that touches your APIs. Key capabilities include: A visual workflow builder for customizing API behavior without writing backend code A self-service developer portal so partners can discover, test, and integrate your APIs without burdening your team Role-based access control with separation of duties, SSO, and enterprise authentication Full audit trail of every configuration change and API call — ready for regulators and internal review Zerq Copilot, a conversational layer for operations teams and API consumers powered by your own LLM, with enforcement staying on the gateway Prometheus-based observability with real-time dashboards, structured logging, and SIEM integration Who it's built for Zerq is designed for enterprise teams in banking, fintech, healthcare, government, retail, and defence — industries where compliance, auditability, and full control over infrastructure are non-negotiable. It is particularly well suited for platform engineering teams replacing a fragmented stack, and for organizations beginning to expose their APIs to AI agents and automation tools. Deployment Zerq runs where you need it — on-premises, air-gapped, hybrid, or cloud. It deploys via Docker Compose for development and Kubernetes for production, with multi-replica scaling and zero-downtime updates. No vendor lock-in, no mandatory cloud dependency.
