Features - FluxGate API Gateway

Open-source API gateway for microservices

$ fluxctl apply -f gateway.yaml
✓ Route /v2/payments → payment-svc:8080 (weighted 70/30)
✓ JWT validation enabled (aud: api.fluxgate.io)
✓ Rate limit: 12k req/min per client IP
✓ Circuit breaker: open after 3 consecutive 5xx

Core Capabilities

Ship resilient APIs without the operational tax

FluxGate replaces fragmented sidecars and legacy edge routers with a single, declarative control plane. Built in Rust, it delivers sub-millisecond routing overhead while handling 150,000 requests per second on a single 4-core node.

Configure routing, security, and observability through standard YAML manifests. Deploy to Kubernetes, bare metal, or serverless runtimes with zero runtime dependencies. Join 4,200+ engineering teams at companies like Vercel, Stripe, and Figma who rely on FluxGate for production traffic.

Traffic & Security

Production-grade routing and protection

Intelligent Traffic Management

Define weighted canary deployments, automatic circuit breakers, and retry policies with jitter. FluxGate evaluates 12 routing rules per request in under 0.3ms, supporting header-based routing, path prefix matching, and regex fallbacks.

Zero-Trust Security Layer

Enforce mTLS between services, validate JWTs against Auth0 or Okta, and sign outgoing requests with AWS SigV4. Built-in request body inspection blocks payloads exceeding 5MB or containing malformed JSON.

Protocol Translation

Bridge legacy REST endpoints to modern gRPC backends without rewriting clients. Supports WebSocket-to-HTTP/2 upgrades, GraphQL federation stitching, and automatic protobuf-to-JSON marshalling.

Native Observability

Export OpenTelemetry traces to Jaeger or Datadog, push Prometheus metrics on port 9090, and ship structured JSON logs to Loki. Includes built-in SLO tracking for p99 latency and error budget consumption.
