Easy maintenance
API Gateway is a managed PaaS product that provides productivity tools for each phase of the API lifecycle. This greatly improves API management and O&M efficiency and reduces routine maintenance costs.
High performance and reliability
API Gateway uses a distributed deployment mode to respond to a large number of API access requests with low latency.
Security
API Gateway provides a variety of security mechanisms and can work with Web Application Firewall (WAF), Anti-DDoS Pro, and Identity as a Service (IDaaS) to build a full-link API security protection system. The security mechanisms it offers include API authentication, parameter cleansing, full-link signature verification, CA certificate verification, access control, throttling, and access over an internal network.
Rich integration capabilities
API Gateway is deeply integrated with the compute, big data, AI, and data visualization services of Alibaba Cloud. Together, these services help API Gateway quickly build your business.
Multiple billing methods
API Gateway provides a variety of billing methods to meet the needs of different scenarios. Serverless instances are charged based on the number of calls and are suitable for R&D and testing environments. Dedicated instances are charged based on the usage period under different instance specifications. Dedicated instances provide strict service level agreement (SLA) compliance and are suitable for production environments.
