Developer teams and companies seeking a low-code solution to build modular APIs
About Metatype
Build modular APIs with zero-trust and serverless deployment, no matter where and how your (legacy) systems are. And castle building is hard. Even the best teams can struggle to build according to the plans, especially with the ever-evolving needs and tech landscape complexities. Typegraphs are programmable virtual graphs describing all the components of your stack. They enable you to compose APIs, storage, and business logic in a type-safe manner. Typegate is a distributed HTTP/GraphQL query engine that compiles, optimizes, runs, and caches queries over typegraphs. It enforces authentication, authorization, and security for you. Install third parties as dependencies and start reusing components. The Meta CLI offers you live reloading and one-command deployment to Metacloud or your own instance. Metatype fills a gap in the tech landscape by introducing a new way to build fast and developer-friendly APIs.

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.
