The management API covers APIs, plans (access policies), subscriptions, applications, and analytics. Agents can publish new APIs with defined access plans, approve or reject subscription requests from applications, retrieve consumption metrics, and manage API versioning. The event-native capabilities enable managing Kafka topic exposure and WebSocket proxy configurations alongside REST API management.
Reliability for self-hosted Gravitee depends on the deployment configuration. The gateway and management API are separate components — gateway availability is independent of management plane availability. High-availability configurations use Elasticsearch for analytics storage and MongoDB for management data.
Gravitee is an open-source API management platform with distinctive event-native support — managing REST, GraphQL, and asynchronous APIs (Kafka, MQTT, WebSocket) through a unified gateway and management layer. For organizations where API management spans both traditional request-response APIs and event-driven message streams, Gravitee provides a unified platform that Kong and Tyk don't match in their open-source tiers. The management REST API enables programmatic API lifecycle management.
Authentication to the Gravitee Management API uses admin credentials or API management tokens. The access management component (Gravitee AM) provides OAuth2 and identity management infrastructure that can protect API access. Teams integrating Gravitee automation should use dedicated service accounts with minimum required permissions.
Documentation covers the gateway, management API, and event-native features. The async API management documentation is the most distinctive reference for teams evaluating Gravitee's event-native capabilities. Teams choosing between Gravitee, Kong, and Tyk should specifically evaluate async API support if they manage Kafka or MQTT backends that need API gateway features.
