Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. APIs act as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services. Using API Gateway, you can create RESTful APIs and WebSocket APIs that enable real-time two-way communication applications. API Gateway supports containerized and serverless workloads, as well as web applications. API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, CORS support, authorization and access control, throttling, monitoring, and API version management. API Gateway has no minimum fees or startup costs. You pay for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out and, with the API Gateway tiered pricing model, you can reduce your cost as your API usage scales.

Gravitee
Gravitee is an AI agent management and API management platform designed to secure, observe, and govern interactions between AI agents, models, APIs, event streams, and enterprise services. Its AI Gateway provides centralized control for LLM traffic, MCP tool access, and agent-to-agent communication through LLM Proxy, MCP Proxy, and A2A Proxy capabilities. The platform can enforce authentication, authorization, least-privilege access, PII redaction, rate limits, spending controls, and audit logging across AI traffic. Gravitee also provides visibility into agent behavior, token consumption, dependencies, costs, and usage patterns so organizations can identify shadow AI and unmonitored workloads. Beyond AI governance, the platform manages APIs and event streams, including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, and related enterprise integration patterns. Gravitee is designed for organizations that want a unified control layer for AI agents, APIs, events, and model access.
