Apiome Gateway
Your schemas, enforced at the edge.
Apiome Gateway is a fully managed API gateway that turns your published Apiome schemas into enforceable runtime contracts. Every request is validated, coerced, and transformed before it reaches your services — with load balancing, circuit breaking, schema-aware caching, and version translation built in.
What ships with Gateway
Every Gateway surface is wired into the rest of the Apiome platform — no glue code, no separate identity, no bolt-on integrations.
Schema-driven validation
Compiled validators enforce your published schemas on every request — errors returned as RFC 9457 problem details with JSON Pointer paths.
Type coercion & normalization
A strict allow-list coercion layer converts params, headers, and body fields to their declared types before validation — rejecting lossy conversions.
Traffic resilience built in
Weighted load balancing with health checks, per-upstream circuit breakers with half-open recovery, and idempotency-aware retries with backoff.
Schema version bridge
Serve v1 consumers from v2 services without breaking anyone — the gateway transforms requests forward and responses backward automatically.
Schema-aware caching & rate limiting
Redis-backed response caching keyed on schema version, plus sliding-window rate limits and monthly quotas tied to usage plans.
Developer portal & monetization
A branded portal auto-generated from your schemas: interactive docs, try-it-out console, self-service keys, and Stripe-backed usage billing.
A look inside Apiome Gateway
Live design previews from the Gateway mockup pack — 21 surfaces in total.
Upstreams & health checks: real-time status for every backend target — weighted distribution, health probes, and automatic re-admission on recovery.
Version Bridge: consumer and upstream schema versions side by side, with the computed diff shown as forward and reverse transforms.
Usage dashboards: per-consumer request volume, validation rejects, and cache hit rate — the same numbers that drive quotas and billing.
Use cases
Gateway is designed around the way real teams actually work — not the way a tool wants them to work.
Stop re-implementing validation, retries, and rate limiting in every service — bind routes to published schema versions once and let the gateway enforce the contract.
Launch a commercial API without building the business layer: usage plans, a branded portal, quota alerts, and metered Stripe invoicing out of the box.
Keep XML-speaking and version-pinned consumers running while you evolve your services — format conversion and the version bridge let old and new coexist.
- Dedicated gateway deployments for enterprise tenants with request-volume pricing
- Full audit trail across key lifecycle events, pipeline changes, and quota overrides
- PII redaction for schema-marked sensitive fields in every error response and log
- Tenant-scoped isolation for custom rules, error templates, plans, and portal branding
- Shadow-mode rollouts for response validation: observe violations before enforcing them
- Suggests field mapping rules for ambiguous version-bridge diffs, ranked by structural similarity
- Drafts custom validation rules from plain-language descriptions in a safe JSONPath DSL
- Clusters validation error logs into root-cause groups pointing to the offending consumer and field
- Recommends per-route cache TTLs, retry budgets, and circuit-breaker thresholds from observed traffic
A gateway that learns your contracts
Apiome Gateway pairs schema intelligence with AI assistance, so configuring validation, transformation, and traffic policy feels like describing intent — not writing middleware.
Every GatewayAI feature is grounded in your tenant's data, runs under your data-residency policy, and respects every role and ACL the platform enforces.
