Challenges
Founded in 2013, Honor is a top global smart terminal provider. Its products are sold in 100+ countries, partnered with over 200 operators, and supported by 52,000+ experience stores and counters, with 250 million active devices.
-
Traffic forwarding to upstream servers mirrors requests to a third-party asset platform, but recording platform failures can block mirroring and cause traffic disruption.
-
Percentage-based routing causes inconsistent traffic assignments, where identical requests may be routed to different environments, which is risky for user-facing scenarios.
-
Manual coordination with admins is needed for rate limiting. In elastic scaling, mismatches in throttling values can overwhelm backends and cause system issues.
-
Redis struggles in single-key scenarios. Frequent requests lead to high network overhead, CPU usage over 50%, and increased latency by 2–3 ms.
-
The inline WAF architecture is prone to single points of failure. If the WAF malfunctions, it can disrupt the entire traffic flow and negatively impact business operations.
Solution
Honor has selected Apache APISIX as its API gateway to support its widely expanded business.
Competitive Edge of Our Solution
Scalability
APISIX offers a flexible framework that easily adapts to business needs, enabling Honor to develop nearly 100 custom plugins and integrate them smoothly as services evolve.
High Performance
Apache APISIX leads API gateways with superior performance: a single core delivers 18,000 QPS at only 0.2 ms delay. It effectively handles Honor's massive traffic, achieving millions of QPS at peak times.
Rich Features
APISIX enhances traffic management with canary releases, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and WAF, offering flexible, reliable, and secure operations.
Results
Precise Traffic Control
Honor achieved precise traffic control by customizing traffic processing, canary release and circuit breaker plugins, and rate limiting mechanisms.
Fortified Security
Honor, in collaboration with API7.ai and Tencent Cloud, transitioned the inline WAF to a bypass architecture, preventing traffic disruption from WAF failures and thereby boosting overall system reliability.
Cost-Effectiveness
Honor has reduced its public network bandwidth costs by two-thirds through gateway scaling and other measures, significantly lowering operational expenses.
