did you look at Kong? https://github.com/mashape/kong
Re:Building a concurrent TCP server with libmill on Sunday July 26, 2015 @12:14AM (#9950114)
Would be cool to add KONG [1] to libmill to secure and monitor API traffic.

Play with https://github.com/mashape/kong - becoming the largest Lua project.
Is small from a VC prospective. Especially in 2015-2020. Everything under 1B is tiny. Plus, when there are soo many players you will end up fighting like crazy just the get bread crumbs.
there is no real active development on apiaxle and api umbrella is low looking at their pulse.
apiaxle and apiumbrella have few features actually. vulcan is not for api management and beside that quality > quantity.
There is also api umbrella or KONG which is the most popular OSS API gateway: https://github.com/mashape/kong
the more complete is the integration, the more locked in you are.
have you look at the open source KONG https://github.com/mashape/kong ?
have you tried KONG or API Umbrella?
or you can use open source api gateways, free. like Kong (https://github.com/mashape/kong) or Tyk.
Did you guys tried the open source api gateway KONG? (https://github.com/mashape/kong)
that's not similar. there is no API management in there.
API management is not big. Is under $500M/year [1] - plus most of the features are becoming commodities. Take a look at the open source KONG API gateway [2]

Smart move for AWS, but they are not innovating nothing here, just following. Late.

Companies like Apigee/Mashape/3scale/Mulesoft have been doing cloud API management in various forms since 2008. Even Microsoft Azure has an API management offering since two years.

Nowadays all those API gateway features are commodities and doesn't make sense to pay for it anymore. Indeed Open Source projects such as KONG [1] are getting tremendous tractions. Same things happened in search with all cloud solutions and then ElasticSearch came out and was game over.

Re:Microservice Trade-Offs on Wednesday July 01, 2015 @04:57PM (#9815100)
Apps that follow the microservice pattern will not consist entirely of independent services, as there is still a need for a central component that can do request handler for responding to user events or routing and initiating individual service processes.

To reduce complexity and centralize common functionalities API Gateways such as KONG (https://github.com/mashape/kong) are the base of microservice architectures.

Re:Show HN: Distributed Cloud Compilation API on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @01:55PM (#9807166)
Do you guys use Kong (https://github.com/mashape/kong) or similar open-source solutions for API management; went with commercial services such as Mashery or you built that in house?
Re:Show HN: Free Company Logo API on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @01:46PM (#9807088)
Just curious.. what do you guys use for API management to handle authentications, logging, rate-limiting, etc..

1. Open-source solutions like KONG (https://github.com/mashape/kong) or similar?

2. Built in house?

3. Commercial services such as Apigee, Mashery?

That's why we need more open source under MIT license in the API space.

Fast growing OSS projects like KONG [1] for API management or Strongloop are a way to avoid to invest in technologies that are not fully open or usable under the right license.

Re:Boosting Nginx Performance with Thread Pools on Friday June 19, 2015 @04:06AM (#9743522)
Open-source API Management KONG (https://github.com/mashape/kong), which is based on NGINX, uses the same workaround of Async wrapppers to make requests faster.
Re:CiscoCloud Microservices Infrastructure on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:32AM (#9713723)
Yes they open-sourced it a month ago I think... You made a lovely repo and great idea for the PR!

Re:How We Moved Our API From Ruby to Go on Wednesday June 10, 2015 @06:11PM (#9695933)
What tools are you using to do API management on top? Have you seen the Open-Source KONG? http://github.com/mashape/kong
Re:10,000+ Public APIs on Thursday December 12, 2013 @07:34PM (#6898336)
oh yes, the latest copy-cat of http://mashape.com
There is http://mashape.com too. They have almost 3000 APIs, fully documented, with SDKs in Java/Android, PHP, Ruby, Python, iOS and Win8. And an interactive test console for each endpoint + real-time status and avg latency.
