Embracing Federated API Management: A Smarter Approach to API Deployment

Federated API management is a hybrid deployment model that enables organizations to strike the right balance between governance and developer agility.

In this eBook, we’ll explore the components of a modern federated approach, how federated API management works, and the many benefits this model provides over traditional API deployment models.

Navigating API Complexity in Enterprise Environments

A smarter API deployment model

Federated API management delivers the best of both worlds for IT and developers alike. As APIs grow in complexity and criticality across every enterprise, adapting a balanced and collaborative approach to API deployment can help sustain control without sacrificing agility.

In this eBook, you’ll learn about:

  • The challenges arising from API proliferation
  • The pros and cons of API deployment models
  • The benefits of federated API management
  • How federated API management works

Gain additional insights in our webinar: Federated API Management for Agile, Secure, Future-Ready APIs

Powering the API world

Increase developer productivity, security, and performance at scale with the unified platform for API management, AI gateways, service mesh, and ingress controller.
