“After comparing some mainstream gateway products, we find that the response latency of Apache APISIX is more than 50% lower than other gateways, and Apache APISIX can still run stably when the CPU reaches more than 70%.”

iQIYI is a leading online video streaming platform in China, owned by the tech giant Baidu. It offers a wide range of content, including popular TV shows, movies, variety programs, documentaries, and original productions.
iQIYI has grown to become one of the largest online video sites in the world, with nearly 6 billion hours spent on its service each month and over 500 million monthly active users.
On the other hand, as the business expanded, hurdles emerged.
High traffic leads to excessive CPU IDLE too-low alerts.
Many components depend on the system architecture.
O&M (Operation and Maintenance) cost is high.
"We compared the performance between Apache APISIX and Kong during the investigation and surprisingly found Apache APISIX was 10 times better than Kong in terms of performance optimization. We also compared Apache APISIX to some other major gateway products, and Apache APISIX's response latency is always more than 50% lower than other products. Furthermore, Apache APISIX can still run stably even if the CPU usage reaches more than 70%. APISIX is really amazing!" Cong said.
Both Apache APISIX and Kong were developed based on OpenRestry at the technical level, which allows for a relatively low migration cost. Its excellent adaptability makes it easy to deploy on various environments, including cloud computing platforms.
"Meanwhile, we also found Apache APISIX is a highly active open-source project that resolves issues very quickly. Its cloud-native framework also aligns with our company's future plans. Therefore, we chose Apache APISIX as our API gateway."
Performance improved by 10 times, enabling the system to handle millions of QPS daily.
Our solution supported over 9,000 API online business projects with ease.
We successfully implemented data disaster recovery for multiple sites and levels throughout China.
Airwallex has made a smooth transition to multi-cloud and microservices architectures thanks to API7 commercial support: a highly optimized and scalable platform and the support of the developer community!
Haier uses API7 Enterprise's federated API management to manage different API gateways from various Lines of Business (LOBs) to find a balance between agility and stability.
API7 solution performs surprisingly well in its practice in production scenarios. We love its high availability, high performance, and rich functionality, allowing us to build and grow our business in a cloud-native way.
