Dynamic, real-time, high-performance API Gateway built on NGINX and etcd. Delivers exceptional speed with zero-downtime configuration updates. Perfect for high-traffic cloud-native environments requiring extreme performance.
Apache APISIX excels in high-traffic environments requiring ultra-low latency and real-time configuration updates. An Apache Software Foundation project with exceptional performance benchmarks and Kubernetes-native architecture.
Sub-millisecond latency with etcd-based dynamic configuration. Handle 10K+ requests/sec per node with minimal resource consumption, delivering up to 10x better performance than traditional gateways.
Update routes, plugins, and upstream targets without restarts or reloads. Changes propagate instantly via etcd, eliminating deployment downtime and manual coordination.
First-class Kubernetes integration with APISIX Ingress Controller. Declarative CRDs for routes, native service discovery, and seamless integration with cloud-native tooling.
Write plugins in Lua, Java, Python, Go, or Node.js. External plugin architecture allows running plugins as separate processes, providing language flexibility and fault isolation.
Lenovo, one of the world's leading technology companies, migrated to Apache APISIX to overcome bottlenecks in their centralized API Gateway architecture and modernize enterprise-scale API management.
Lenovo's centralized API Gateway architecture caused serious issues: gateway outages blocked all services, high-traffic APIs degraded performance for others, and separate etcd/ZooKeeper requirements for each gateway increased operational costs.
Lenovo chose Apache APISIX for its high-performance NGINX and LuaJIT foundation, lightweight deployment model, and dynamic hot-reload capabilities. They transitioned to a decentralized gateway architecture with centralized management.
With Apache APISIX, Lenovo overcame performance bottlenecks and successfully scaled their enterprise API ecosystem. The decentralized architecture eliminated single point of failure risks.

A proven methodology for high-performance cloud-native API Gateway deployments.
We analyze your traffic patterns, latency requirements, and scalability needs to design the optimal APISIX deployment: standalone or Ingress Controller, etcd cluster sizing, and region distribution.
Deploy etcd cluster with proper quorum, install APISIX via Helm or Docker Compose, configure network policies, and establish TLS communication between components.
Configure routes using Admin API or Ingress Controller CRDs, implement authentication plugins, rate limiting, caching, and observability integrations.
Load testing to validate latency targets, observability setup with Prometheus/Grafana, and gradual traffic migration with real-time monitoring.
Worker process tuning, DNS caching optimization, upstream connection pooling, and etcd watch optimization, all configured for sub-millisecond P99 latency.
GitOps workflow with ADC (APISIX Declarative CLI), automated CI/CD pipelines, and configuration validation. This makes your infrastructure fully version-controlled.
Multi-node etcd cluster with proper quorum, automated backups, disaster recovery procedures, and monitoring to ensure configuration store reliability.
APISIX Ingress Controller with custom CRDs, automatic service discovery, canary deployments, and seamless integration with Istio/Linkerd service meshes.
Let us understand your Apache APISIX implementation needs and find the best solution together.
