# Govern Your APIs with Traefik Hub
|
|
|
|
Traefik Hub transforms your API infrastructure by providing enterprise-grade API Gateway and comprehensive API Management capabilities. Built on the foundation of Traefik Proxy, Hub enables organizations to govern, secure, and manage APIs at scale across cloud-native environments.
|
|
|
|
## API Gateway and API Management Capabilities
|
|
|
|
Traefik Hub offers two complementary approaches to API governance:
|
|
|
|
- [Traefik Hub API Gateway](https://traefik.io/solutions/api-gateway/): Enterprise-grade security, distributed features, and advanced access control for cloud-native API gateway scenarios. It includes AI Gateway capabilities for modern machine learning workloads.
|
|
|
|
- [Traefik Hub API Management](https://traefik.io/solutions/api-management/): Comprehensive API lifecycle management, developer portals, and organizational features for teams managing multiple APIs across environments.
|
|
|
|
## API Management Features
|
|
|
|
Traefik Hub API Management provides a complete suite of features designed to streamline API governance and accelerate developer productivity:
|
|
|
|
### Comprehensive API Lifecycle Management
|
|
|
|
- **Centralized API Catalog**: Comprehensive API inventory providing real-time visibility and control
|
|
- **Advanced Versioning**: Utilize the most flexible API versioning and Kubernetes-native labels to logically organize APIs, track their evolution over time, and avoid breaking changes for client applications
|
|
- **Quality Control**: Perform error checks and change impact analysis with Traefik Hub's static analyzer to ensure compliance and prevent misconfiguration by catching errors early
|
|
- **Resource Management**: Centralize rate limits, quotas, and policy enforcement across groups of APIs through Plans & Bundles, ensuring consistent and efficient resource management
|
|
- **Subscription Management**: Create managed and self-serve subscriptions for enhanced ease-of-use, security, and auditability
|
|
- **Standards Compliance**: Import, validate, and manage APIs using industry-standard OpenAPI specifications
|
|
|
|
### Developer Experience & Self-Service
|
|
|
|
- **Customizable Portals**: Easily create one or more dedicated API Portals for developers to discover, understand, and interact with your APIs
|
|
- **Interactive API Testing**: Allow developers to test APIs directly within the portal for immediate feedback
|
|
- **Branded Experience**: Customize the API portal to house API documentation, clear integration instructions, and personalized content to foster adoption and streamline development
|
|
- **Credential Management**: Generate API access credentials, such as API keys, directly from the portal for simplified access and secure integration
|
|
- **Auto-generated Documentation**: Automatically generated, interactive API documentation from OpenAPI specifications in the portal
|
|
|
|
### Enterprise-Grade Security
|
|
|
|
- **Access Control**: Implement fine-grained permissions through detailed API policies and JWT inspection to secure access to API resources
|
|
- **Identity Integration**: Leverage existing identity and access management (IAM) solutions, such as Keycloak, Okta, Auth0, etc. through industry-standard authentication protocols, including native OIDC support
|
|
- **Data Protection**: Advanced TLS management, supporting Let's Encrypt (ACME) and SPIFFE for robust data protection
|
|
- **Threat Prevention**: Native Web Application Firewall (WAF) powered by OWASP Coraza to defend against known vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
### Observability
|
|
|
|
- **Open Standards Monitoring**: Gain deep insights into API health and performance with OpenTelemetry integration to provide metrics and tracing capabilities without vendor lock-in
|
|
- **Third-party Integrations**: Turnkey integration with Treblle directly on the Traefik Hub Dashboard for real-time, out-of-the-box observability without maintaining a complex monitoring infrastructure
|
|
- **Pre-built Grafana Dashboards**: Ready-to-use monitoring dashboards with key API metrics and performance indicators
|
|
|
|
