Apigee is Google Cloud's enterprise API management platform for designing, securing, analyzing, and monetizing APIs across full-lifecycle API programs. It provides rate limiting, authentication management, and a developer portal, and is sold on an enterprise, quote-based basis with evaluation orgs for trials rather than a perpetual free tier. The platform is neither open-source nor self-hostable, running as a managed Google Cloud service. Founded in 2004, Apigee carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS attestations. It targets enterprises running formal API programs rather than individual developers or startups.
