The Problem

Modern Enterprises are Drowning in Multicloud AI and API Complexity

Legacy API solutions fail to handle cloud-native and hybrid environments, creating security gaps, governance issues, and AI integration challenges that cripple innovation.

1

API Management Fragmentation Across Environments

  • Cross-environment API exposure requires complex, error-prone manual configurations.
  • Inconsistent implementation creates security vulnerabilities and operational blind spots.
  • Siloed tooling prevents unified governance and visibility.

2

Inadequate Security & Governance Framework

  • Authentication inconsistencies leave critical services exposed to potential threats.
  • Lack of centralized policy enforcement creates compliance risks.
  • Governance gaps make it impossible to maintain consistent standards at scale.

3

AI Inferencing Workload Integration Challenges

  • Legacy platforms lack the specialized routing, caching, security, and observability that AI inferencing demands.
  • Managing AI traffic alongside traditional APIs creates architectural conflicts.
  • Performance bottlenecks emerge as AI traffic patterns differ dramatically from conventional workloads.

4

Disruptive Migration & Deployment Processes

  • Upgrading from basic ingress to comprehensive API management requires service interruptions.
  • Complex migrations create operational risks and consume engineering resources.
  • Downtime during transitions directly impacts user experience and revenue.
