Replace API Manager with Kong or Gravitee

MuleSoft's API Manager bundles gateway, policy management, and analytics into one proprietary package. Kong and Gravitee give you the same capabilities, open source.

What you're moving to

Kong Gateway / Gravitee

Open-source API gateways with plugin ecosystems for auth, rate limiting, logging, and traffic management. Kong is the world's most adopted API gateway. Gravitee offers a full API lifecycle platform.

Advantages over API Manager

✕ Bundled with Anypoint Platform — all-or-nothing pricing

✓ Standalone gateway — pay only for what you use

✕ Limited to proxying Mule-managed APIs

✓ Gateway for any backend — REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket

✕ Closed extension model

✓ 100+ plugins (Kong) or extensible policies (Gravitee)

✕ Analytics locked inside Anypoint

✓ Export metrics to Prometheus, Grafana, or any observability stack

What you get

Rate limiting & throttling

Protect your APIs with configurable rate limits. Per-consumer, per-route, or global — without paying per-API-call premiums.

Authentication & authorization

OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, mTLS, LDAP — both Kong and Gravitee support every auth pattern your APIs need.

API analytics

Track usage, latency, error rates, and consumer patterns. Integrate with Grafana and Prometheus for unified observability.

Plugin ecosystem

Kong has 100+ plugins. Gravitee has a policy studio. Extend your gateway without writing custom code or waiting on vendor roadmaps.

Your API gateway shouldn't be a profit center for someone else.

We'll migrate your API policies and set up a gateway that you own.
