What this means in practice
An API gateway is the front door to your organisation — and the place where governance, security and developer experience either come together or quietly fall apart. We engineer that layer end to end: proxy and shared-flow design, fault handling, key/value-map strategy, spec validation, caching and message logging, all version-controlled and promoted through automated pipelines.
Our engineers have run large-scale gateway estates in regulated environments, including Axway-to-Apigee migration programmes spanning hundreds of proxies. We know the failure modes that don't show up in vendor demos: redirect handling in service callouts, cache-poisoning on non-2xx responses, reserved-word collisions in condition engines, and the Filebeat/observability gaps that hide real incidents.
Whether you are standing up your first managed-API programme or rationalising five gateways into one control plane, we deliver a platform your developers want to use and your auditors trust.
What we deliver
Six concrete workstreams. Engage the whole capability or just the piece you need — every one ships documented and handed over.
Platform selection & reference architecture
Vendor-neutral evaluation across Apigee (incl. OPDK/hybrid), Axway, Azure APIM, Gravitee and Kong, mapped to your latency, residency, cost and operating-model constraints.
Gateway onboarding at a fixed fee
Full platform stand-up with hardened security defaults and 100% automated CI/CD. We price onboarding as a fixed fee — if we mis-scope, that's our risk, not yours.
Migration & re-platforming
Zero-downtime migration between gateways, proxy-by-proxy, with behavioural parity testing replayed from production traffic captures.
Proxy & shared-flow engineering
Reusable shared flows, robust DefaultFaultRule patterns, KVM/TTL caching strategy, OAS validation and single-line structured message logging.
Developer portal & API products
Self-service onboarding, product bundling, quota and rate-plan design, and documentation that turns your APIs into adopted products.
Observability & lifecycle governance
End-to-end tracing, log pipelines that don't silently drop malformed events, and lifecycle conventions so APIs are deprecated as deliberately as they're launched.
What you walk away with
Automated delivery
Every change to the gateway estate ships through pipelines — no console drift, full audit trail.
Downtime on migration
Proxy-by-proxy cutover with production-replay parity testing keeps consumers unaffected.
Control plane
Multiple gateways rationalised into one governed view of every API in the estate.
