Enterprise API Management
Manage the Full API Lifecycle with API7 Enterprise
Design, publish, secure, operate, and observe APIs across teams and environments. API7 Enterprise combines an Apache APISIX data plane with centralized lifecycle management, gateway groups, RBAC, audit, and a developer portal.
Use one governed operating layer for APIs running on Kubernetes, virtual machines, bare metal, and cloud infrastructure.

Capabilities
Concrete Controls for a Production API Program
Lifecycle and Catalog
Bring API definitions, documentation, publishing, versioning, and consumption into a consistent workflow.
Gateway Groups and Multi-Cluster Control
Organize data planes by team, environment, region, or business unit and manage them from one control plane.
Developer Portal
Publish API documentation and give internal, partner, or external developers a clear consumption path.
Runtime Traffic Policy
Apply authentication, rate limits, routing, transformation, canary release, and observability at the gateway.
Enterprise Governance
Use RBAC, audit logging, gateway ownership, and repeatable policy workflows across teams.
Open-Source Data Plane
Keep the Apache APISIX runtime and plugin ecosystem while adding a commercial operating layer around it.
Where It Fits
Use Cases Tied to Operating Outcomes
Standardize APIs across Teams
Give platform teams shared controls without forcing every application team to rebuild gateway policy.
Modernize Legacy Services
Expose older services through governed APIs and use protocol transformation where modernization cannot happen at once.
Operate Hybrid and Multi-Cloud APIs
Separate control and data planes so traffic remains close to workloads while policy stays coordinated.
Choose an Operating and Deployment Model
Match responsibility, data location, and support requirements before choosing a product path.
