apiRuler
Integrations
Works directly with the open source tools you use
Roll out apiRuler without replacing your observability, identity, certificate or cache stack. Your WAF stays in place and apiRuler handles API management behind it.
Integrates with the open source tools you trust
apiRuler is built on proven open source technology and talks directly to the tools your team already uses.

apiRuler and WAF: complementary layers
A WAF is the security shield, apiRuler is the API management engine. They complement each other rather than compete.
| Capability | WAF | apiRuler |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Blocking cyber attacks (SQLi, XSS, DDoS) | API management, routing and monitoring |
| Rate limiting | None or limited | Per service / consumer |
| Authentication | Not supported | JWT, OAuth2, API Key, LDAP |
| Route management | None | Host, path, method based |
| API logging | Basic network logs | Request / response detail, latency |
| AI API support | None | AI Proxy, prompt templates |
| Visual management | Config files | Web UI + visual editor |
