An open-source API management platform for controlling access, lifecycle, and analytics of your APIs.
Gravitee API Management is an open-source platform that provides comprehensive tools for managing the entire lifecycle of APIs. It helps organizations control access, document, publish, and analyze API usage through a centralized gateway and developer portal. The platform solves the problem of securing and scaling API ecosystems while maintaining flexibility and performance.
Organizations and development teams that need to manage, secure, and monitor multiple APIs, particularly those deploying microservices architectures or offering APIs to external consumers.
Developers choose Gravitee APIM for its lightweight design, extensive policy library, and ability to be fully self-hosted, offering greater control and customization compared to proprietary SaaS solutions without sacrificing features.

Advanced functionalities require an Enterprise License, limiting access for open-source users without payment, as hinted in the README's tip about licensing.
Deployment involves multiple components (Gateway, Console, Portal) and dependencies like MongoDB, which can be daunting for teams new to container orchestration.
Compared to established players like Kong or Apigee, Gravitee has a more limited community and third-party integrations, potentially affecting plugin availability and support.
