Orchestration Management Api Gateway
APIOAK is a distributed API gateway based on OpenResty. It provides full lifecycle management of APIs including dynamic routing, load balancing, authentication, rate limiting, and analytics.
Key Features
- • Distributed architecture based on OpenResty
- • Full API lifecycle management
Apache APISIX is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance API Gateway. It provides rich traffic management features such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication, observability, and more.
Key Features
- • Dynamic and real-time configuration without restarts
- • Support for HTTP, TCP, UDP, gRPC, and MQTT proxy
Azure API Management is a hybrid, multi-cloud API, full lifecycle management platform for APIs across all environments. It allows customers to self-host API gateways as containers on Kubernetes.

Provisioning Security Compliance
APIClarity is a cloud API observability open-source project that provides functionality to discover and monitor any API traffic that interacts with modern applications and report suspected security weaknesses or possible abuses. Once an OpenAPI spec is either uploaded or reconstructed by APIClarity, it monitors for shadow and zombie APIs, Broken Functional-Level Authorization (BFLA), Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA), weak authentication, sensitive data leaks and data injection risks.
Key Features
- • OpenAPI automatic reconstruction based on observed API traffic
- • Spec Diffs module to identify Shadow APIs, Zombie APIs, and specification deviations
