CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies Inc.
(NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud company that powers and protects life
online, announced today that APIContext is the latest organization
to join the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program as an
Independent Software Vendor (ISV). APIContext is providing advanced
API performance monitoring and compliance testing solutions.
As an ISV in the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program,
APIContext will empower enterprises to ensure continuous API
performance with advanced synthetic testing by offering real-world,
end-to-end monitoring across Akamai's globally distributed cloud
platform. APIContext has launched synthetic tests from 24 Akamai
availability zones and uses Akamai's Linode services, including
Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE), StackScripts, NodeBalancers,
Managed Databases, and Terraform. This integration provides a
crucial layer of independent, outside-in monitoring, which helps
businesses identify and address potential performance issues before
they impact users. With these capabilities, APIContext's solution
offers unmatched scalability and reliability, ensuring that
high-performance, mission-critical APIs remain compliant,
governable, and resilient across multiple regions.
"We are thrilled to bring proactive API performance monitoring
to Akamai's extensive customer base," said Mayur Upadhyaya, CEO of APIContext. "If APIs are
the backbone of the internet, Akamai provides the infrastructure
that powers them for the world's leading brands. Our partnership
allows Akamai customers to leverage advanced synthetic testing,
giving them early visibility into performance, compliance, and
conformance issues — ensuring their APIs meet critical standards at
scale."
"Akamai is pleased to bring APIContext's external performance
testing and conformance monitoring to our customers through the
Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program," said Dan Lawrence, Vice President, Cloud Computing,
Akamai. "Enterprises relying on APIs can now proactively ensure
their APIs perform reliably and adhere to critical standards,
scaling these capabilities across Akamai Connected Cloud, the
world's most distributed platform for cloud computing, security,
and content delivery."
The Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program is designed to
make solution-based services that are interoperable with Akamai's
cloud computing services easily accessible to Akamai customers. The
services are provided by Akamai technology partners that complete a
rigorous qualification process to ensure they are readily available
