    EchoRelay

    N/AN/AEchoRelay is a managed runtime for custom API integrations. Teams that maintain their own adapters carry the cost of every change at the other end. A vendor renames a field and someone edits adapter code, deploys it, and hopes nothing else moved. A credential rotates and the adapter breaks until somebody notices. EchoRelay moves that work out of application code. An integration is described once as configuration: what comes in, the target system, its credentials,…

    Additional DetailsThree ways to pay, and you can move between them. Start free with no card. Buy credits when you need them, with no subscription. Or subscribe for a monthly allowance and a lower rate on anything above it. One request fans out to its targets, and each delivery is charged separately, so cost follows how many systems a request actually reaches. Deliveries that fail on our side are not charged. Nothing is priced per seat, and every plan includes the full REST API, the MCP server and the web panel. Current plans, add-ons, credit packs and the full comparison are on the pricing page linked above. Prices exclude VAT; applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.—

    WebSphere DataPower Gateway is really beneficial if you are trying to integrate two or more systems. It provides you with comfort and peace of mind by creating a DMZ zone for the services which are going out of the intranet to hit external clients APIs. It is greatly recommended if you have a very high volume service or API which is being used by a majority of clients because it has a dedicated physical box present which takes care of memory, CPU and all such stuff. So, all your transactions happen at wire-speed.

    • The most obvious thing that DataPower does exceptionally well is security. All the built-in supported security capabilities allow us to isolate most security tasks to DataPower and as a result "protect" down steam services/systems to have to deal with security.
    • DataPower is very good at protocol conversion and as it is usually used on the edge allows you to narrow down the protocols used between the companies public and private networks.
    • The appliance concept makes maintenance, recovery and, management so much simpler.

    In terms of usability, it has many advantages over other competitors in terms of integration, as it allows for the optimized creation of integration flows in a very quick and intuitive way from browsers, allowing for granular export and import of work, guaranteeing compatibility between different versions of the product.

    • It has really taken our business to the next level. We have expanded and integrated with so many new vendors and for all those integrations DataPower is serving as our security gateway.
    • We don't have to depend on any other tool for doing the load balancing of the incoming requests as that is also taken care inside the WebSphere DataPower Gateway box itself, thereby distributing the load equally.
    • It has made our platform much more secure, uniform and robust to deal with any kind of incoming message format or threat as well due to its latest security mechanisms and huge processing power.

    ScreenShots

    EchoRelay Screenshots

    Screenshot of One address in. Many systems out, each shaped by a configuration you can preview, publish and roll back. Deploy nothing.Screenshot of Lines are versions of the API, v1 and v2, each with its own base URL. Build the next one beside the version that is serving traffic, then activate it when it is ready.Screenshot of Set the target, how it authenticates, and whether it gets queued delivery, synchronous delivery or streaming. Anything still undelivered lands in failed deliveries.Screenshot of A mapping is a tree of typed nodes. Edit it as JSON or build it visually. Both read back the same thing, so what an agent writes opens in the builder unchanged.Screenshot of Filter by request id, method, status or path. Open a row to see what each target answered.Screenshot of Deliveries that ran out of attempts wait here with the reason and the payload. Replay one, or all of them.
