Analyzing API Gateway Adoption Rates Through Internet Data

Ming Wen, Chairman of Apache APISIX, recently posted a blog about data-driven analysis of API gateway adoption on LinkedIn. The analysis uses two methods: internet-wide scans (FOFA) to identify publicly exposed API gateway instances and company adoption data (BuiltWith) to reveal which businesses are using them.

Announcing Integration between Apache APISIX and open-appsec WAF

We are excited to announce a new integration between Apache APISIX and open-appsec WAF, combining the power of a dynamic API gateway with cutting-edge application security.

Free tier API with Apache APISIX

Lots of service providers offer a free tier of their service. The idea is to let you kick their service's tires freely. If you need to go above the free tier at any point, you'll likely stay on the service and pay. In this day and age, most services are online and accessible via an API. Today, we will implement a free tier with Apache APISIX.

Differentiating rate limits in Apache APISIX

In my talk Evolving your APIs, I mention that an API Gateway is a Reverse Proxy "on steroids". One key difference between the former and the latter is that the API Gateway is not unfriendly to busines...

Advanced URL rewriting with Apache APISIX

I spoke at Swiss PgDay in Switzerland in late June. The talk was about how to create a no-code API with the famous PostgreSQL database, the related PostgREST, and Apache APISIX, of course. I already wrote about the idea in a previous post. However, I wanted to improve it, if only slightly.

PostgREST offers a powerful SELECT mechanism. To list all entities with a column equal to a value, you need the following command:

Dynamic watermarking with imgproxy and Apache APISIX

Last week, I described how to add a dynamic watermark to your images on the JVM. I didn't find any library, so I had to develop the feature, or, more precisely, an embryo of a feature, by myself. Depending on your tech stack, you must search for an existing library or roll up your sleeves. For example, Rust offers such an out-of-the-box library. Worse, this approach might be impossible to implement if you don't have access to the source image.

Another alternative is to use ready-made components, namely imgproxy and Apache APISIX. I already combined them to resize images on-the-fly.

Random and fixed routes with Apache APISIX

My ideas for blog posts inevitably start to dry up after over two years at Apache APISIX. Hence, I did some triage on the APISIX repo. I stumbled upon this one question:

Even more OpenTelemetry!

I continue to work on my Opentelemetry demo. Its main idea is to showcase traces across various technology stacks, including asynchronous communication via an MQTT queue. This week, I added a couple of components and changed the architecture. Here are some noteworthy learnings; note that some of them might not be entirely connected to OpenTelemetry.

Five ways to pass parameters to Apache APISIX

I recently read 6 Ways To Pass Parameters to Spring REST API. Though the title is a bit misleading, as it's unrelated to REST, it does an excellent job listing all ways to send parameters to a Spring application. I want to do the same for Apache APISIX; it's beneficial when you write a custom plugin.

Secure your API with these 16 Practices with Apache APISIX - part 2

Last week, we listed 16 practices to help secure one's APIs and described how to implement them with Apache APISIX. This week, we will look at the remaining practices.

Secure your API with these 16 Practices with Apache APISIX - part 1

A couple of months ago, I stumbled upon this list of Secure your API with these 16 practices to secure your API:

While it's debatable whether some points relate to security, e.g.,, versioning, the list is a good starting point anyway. In this two-post series, I'd like to describe how we can implement each point with Apache APISXI (or not).

Apache APISIX plugin priority, a leaky abstraction?

Apache APISIX builds upon the OpenResty reverse-proxy to offer a plugin-based architecture. The main benefit of such an architecture is that it brings structure to the configuration of routes. It's a help at scale, when managing hundreds or thousands of routes.

In this post, I'd like to describe how plugins, priority, and phases play together and what pitfalls you must be aware of.

Canary releases with Apache APISIX

In a few words, the idea of canary releases is to deliver a new software version to only a fraction of the users, analyze the results, and decide whether to proceed further or not. If results are not ...

In this post, I'd like to detail this introduction briefly, explain different ways to define the fraction, and show how to execute it with Apache APISIX.

Chopping the monolith in a smarter way

In my previous post Chopping the Monolith, I explained that some parts of a monolith are pretty stable and only the fast-changing parts are worth being "chopped." I turned the post into a talk and presented it at several conferences. I think it's pretty well received; I believe it's because most developers understand, or have direct experience, that microservices are not a good fit for traditional organizations, as per Conway's Law.

Make your security policy auditable

Last week, I wrote about putting the right feature at the right place. I used rate limiting as an example, moving it from a library inside the application to the API Gateway. Today, I'll use another example: authentication and authorization.

The right feature at the right place

Before moving to Developer Relations, I transitioned from Software Architect to Solution Architect long ago. It's a reasonably common career move. The problem in this situation is two-fold:

1. You know perfectly well software libraries
2. You don't know well infrastructure components

It seems logical that people in this situation try to solve problems with the solutions they are most familiar with. However, it doesn't mean it's the best approach. It's a bad one in most cases.
