Akamai API Gateway vs. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

Our well suited scenario is when working with high-traffic APIs. Akamai API Gateway's scalability and performance optimisation capabilities provide effective handling of huge volumes of API calls, guaranteeing users' best possible experience. One less appropriate scenario is that the price of Akamai API Gateway may be too high for organisations on a tight budget, particularly if they don't need all of the platform's capabilities.

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations.

• API Manager provides easy API Policy Governance. You do not have to manage multiple platforms for managing the policies.
• Supports hybrid Mule EBS environments. You can configure both CouldHub-based and on-premise-based API using Mulesoft API manager in a similar manner.
• It's very easy to implement API proxy.
• User friendly UI.
• Single platform to manage all.

• Improvements required to real-time monitoring tools, like more detailed alerting settings and advanced analytics dashboards, could offer more insight into API performance and security breaches.
• For less experienced users, setting up advanced security rules or personalising authentication procedures might be difficult and require deep technical expertise.
• Although it works well with a range of backend systems and protocols, it could be helpful to offer additional pre-configured connectors or easier integration choices for widely used services and platforms.

• Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla.
• Not a value product, tends to be expensive.
• Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint.

Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate.

• Akamai API Gateway can reduce risk as well as save money by preventing expensive data breaches, compliance violations, and damage to reputation by improving API security and reducing risks.
• Akamai API Gateway helps increase developer productivity, shorten API development cycles, and allow quicker time-to-market for new products and services with its developer-friendly tools, documentation, and sandbox environments.
• One negative aspect is that advanced security policies or integration setup and configuration can require special knowledge and resources, which can extend the implementation period and price.

• Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc.
• An excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations.
• Not as robust in handling large data volumes, Informatica is better in that respect.
