Nothing really. This is the first time I've heard and use such technology. Its equivalent in a Spring Framework really is Netflix Zuul at best. But still Apigee Edge as a platform is still much easier to use and develop APIs from. Considering I could easily on-board developers …

A Node server as a proxy that uses JSON Web Tokens would be more maintainable than Apigee.
Chose Apigee Edge
Amazon API's gateway does not have easy to set up policies and exception handling. It does not have a tracking mechanism. However, it is better to use AWS API's gateway if you have tight integration with AWS tools.

Apigee has been great when managing the quota based access to the APIs. It is really good and suitable when considering proxying the in-house server endpoints access with the way it provides security with API Key validation and OAuth.

RepreZen API Studio is well suited for running on two operating systems and the nice UIs are good. But better appearance could improve the UX.

Pros
  • Manage user access, we can allow specific access to users based on their need and even customize requests of services based on user requirements.
  • Allow branding, so that SFO can maintain its look and feel but still get the support and functionalities we need from Apigee.
  • Integrates well with other platforms we use.

  • Running on OS X and Windows
  • Great performance
  • Nice UI and UX

Cons
  • Might need to bring in more features that a gateway performs, such a orchestration to some extent.
  • May seem to be costly at start for small scale enterprises.

I am not the one deciding whether to use apigee or not really. But personally, I would recommend the use of it as developing APIs on it is easy. And as a mediator between backend servers, we could easily modify request and responses in it without touching any backend code while having a centralize gateway to access our backend APIs too.

Quite hard to get support, at least on the coding side, when we encounter blockers. But general concerns, they would schedule a call to you for them to get a whole picture of your concern. Albeit in my experience, bad really as they haven't replied about the progress, but otherwise seems to have been fixed.

Return on Investment
  • Unruly, difficult to maintain, unable to test, difficult to troubleshoot and debug. Every ticket that requires Apigee work increases stress and anxiety.
