About

Developing monolithic applications doesn’t work. Monolithic applications are being broken down into microservices. These microservices expose the application as set of APIs that can be consumed by anyone. Microservices and APIs is an architectural style that’s grabbing a lot of attention due an emphasis on sustainable development. If you’ve used Node.js, you’ve almost certainly come across Express.js. Express.js (Express) remains one of the largest, most widely adopted, open source projects in the world. Simplicity means that, as a minimalist, general purpose, framework that is familiar to every Node developer out there you can get started rapidly and continue that velocity throughout the API Development Lifecycle. We believe that an Express based API Gateway will be a powerful enabler for developers to sustainably build better, faster and more scalable applications.

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.
