About

The Knox API Gateway is designed as a reverse proxy with consideration for pluggability in the areas of policy enforcement, through providers and the backend services for which it proxies requests. Policy enforcement ranges from authentication/federation, authorization, audit, dispatch, hostmapping and content rewrite rules. Policy is enforced through a chain of providers that are defined within the topology deployment descriptor for each Apache Hadoop cluster gated by Knox. The cluster definition is also defined within the topology deployment descriptor and provides the Knox Gateway with the layout of the cluster for purposes of routing and translation between user facing URLs and cluster internals. Each Apache Hadoop cluster that is protected by Knox has its set of REST APIs represented by a single cluster specific application context path. This allows the Knox Gateway to both protect multiple clusters and present the REST API consumer with a single endpoint.

About

ReqKey adds API key authentication, usage credits, rate limiting and request analytics to an API you own. Your own middleware makes a single verify call per incoming request: ReqKey validates the caller’s key, deducts a credit from that consumer’s pool, enforces their rate limit, and records the request with status code, latency and location. It never sits in front of your API — no proxy, no gateway, no DNS change — so it adds no hop to your critical path. Validation averages under 5ms. Credits pool per consumer rather than per key, so issuing a customer a second key does not hand them a second quota, and balances stay synced across regions. Also included: shadow limits, controlled overage, reusable plans, low-credit alerts, and per-request logs filterable by endpoint, status, consumer and time range. ReqKey meters and tracks usage — you keep your own billing stack. SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, PHP, .NET and Java, with framework adapters for FastAPI, Express, Django, and more.
