Gateway Federation

Unified Discovery and Control Across API Gateways

Federate heterogeneous API gateways without expensive migration or rip-and-replace. Bring centralized governance across cloud, on-prem, and edge, while keeping your existing gateways.

Why it matters

Enterprises with 3+ gateway technologies face consistent challenges, especially
after M&A, reorgs, or multi-cloud expansion:

Fragmented API governance

Having inconsistent rules and processes across deployments and systems within the organization without centralized control

Operational inefficiency

Unnecessary complexity added by having to manage multiple systems and pipelines for different deployments

Vendor
lock-in

Locked into a single vendor's roadmap with no flexibility to optimize gateway selection for each use case or compliance requirement

But with WSO2 API Platform’s federated gateway architecture, you can automatically discover and manage APIs deployed in third-party gateways through a unified control plane.

Federated API Discovery

With WSO2 API platform, whether you are scaling microservices, operating in a multi-cloud setup, or managing legacy systems alongside modern applications, the presence of a unified control plane delivers unified visibility, improved governance, and operational efficiency with inbuilt support for leading gateways including AWS, Azure, Kong and Envoy. Rather than manually re-registering APIs, your system can sync existing APIs into WSO2 API Manager, preserving their definitions, security settings, and lifecycle stages. This not only accelerates onboarding of legacy or third‑party APIs, but also ensures consistency in policy enforcement, visibility, and analytics across all federated gateways.
