APImediatie

APImediatie is a software platform designed to facilitate API mediation and management across diverse environments. It provides tools to connect, transform, secure, and govern API traffic between clients and backend services, including legacy systems and modern microservices.

Core capabilities include an API gateway, protocol translation, message mediation, orchestration, policy enforcement, and security features such as OAuth 2.0, mutual TLS, and API keys. It also supports rate limiting, caching, retries, SLA-based routing, and analytics, along with a developer portal and lifecycle management for APIs, including versioning and deprecation.

Architecturally, APImediatie consists of a mediation engine that sits between API consumers and backend services, augmented by adapters or connectors for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC. A policy engine applies security, transformation, and routing rules, while a registry or catalog stores API metadata. Telemetry, monitoring, and dashboards provide operational insight, and a user interface or developer portal enables design, testing, and collaboration.

Governance and standards: It typically supports OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and Swagger definitions, with policy-as-code capabilities to version and review rules. The platform is designed for hybrid environments, supporting on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge deployments, and often includes multi-tenancy, access controls, and audit logging to meet compliance requirements.

Use cases include enterprise integration across departmental systems, partner ecosystems, and SaaS integrations; API mediation for data proxying, protocol bridging, and security enforcement; and migration scenarios that require gradual transition from monolithic interfaces to service-based architectures.
