Managed Apache APISIX Operating Options
Reduce Apache APISIX Operational Load with API7
Keep the APISIX data plane and choose how much of the surrounding control, maintenance, governance, and support your team wants to own. API7 offers a SaaS control plane, self-hosted enterprise software, and professional support paths built around APISIX expertise.
Apache APISIX remains an independent open-source project. API7 commercial options add an operating layer; they do not change the ownership of the Apache project.
