Apigee Joins Cloud Native Computing Foundation
July 25 2016 - 9:00AM
Apigee® (NASDAQ:APIC), the API company, today announced that it has
joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a Linux
foundation project and organization dedicated to advancing the
development of cloud native technology and services. Apigee
develops a leading API management platform designed for building
and managing modern, cloud native applications.
“We are committed to helping enterprises adapt and
thrive in today’s connected economy by powering the APIs that are
key to ‘built for the cloud’ applications. Kubernetes is being
deployed by many of Apigee’s customers. Our participation in the
Cloud Native Computing Foundation gives us the opportunity to work
with other companies to help shape the direction of API features
and functionality in Kubernetes and other container and cloud
technologies,” said Ed Anuff, Apigee senior vice president of
strategy.
A core contributor to the Open API Initiative,
Apigee plans to contribute to the CNCF community by providing input
on how OpenAPI (formerly known as the Swagger specification) can be
used within cloud native applications. Many of Apigee's enterprise
customers run API workloads in public and/or private clouds, and
Apigee will bring to the CNCF a perspective on enterprise
experiences for building and operating APIs in public and hybrid
cloud scenarios.
“We are thrilled to welcome Apigee as our newest
member of CNCF,” said Dan Kohn, executive director of the Cloud
Native Computing Foundation. “The company’s dedication to advancing
the development of cloud native technologies is an exciting
addition to our growing community.”
The Apigee Edge API management software is part of
Apigee’s cloud native API platform, which also includes Apigee
Insights, an API-based, self-service predictive analytics solution;
Apigee Link, an API-first Internet of Things (IoT) product for
connecting devices to the Internet; and Apigee Sense, an
intelligent API security product.
In addition to its enterprise-grade API platform,
Apigee delivers a robust set of developer tools for building and
managing APIs. Developers can take advantage of open source
components for building production-grade APIs such as the OpenAPI
Specification. Apigee API BaaS (backend-as-a-service) gives app
developers a set of out-of-the-box APIs for common features such as
NoSQL persistence. Combined with Apigee’s Node.js runtime and
tools, Apigee’s developer tools can deliver what developers need to
quickly build well-designed APIs.
Apigee contributes to a number of organizations
that promote the advancement of and ecosystems around open source
projects. In addition to the CNCF, today Apigee is a member
of the Open API Foundation, the Cloud Foundry Foundation, and the
Node Foundation. The company also contributes to the Usergrid
project at the Apache Foundation.
