WunderGraph features

  • Connect any service. Expose gRPC, Kafka, NATS or Redis services through a unified GraphQL router without extra infrastructure.
  • Real-time streams. Router handles subscriptions, aggregating events from Kafka, NATS or Redis and pushes updates to clients.
  • MCP Gateway. One gateway turns approved operations into agent-ready tools with built-in authentication, eliminating separate MCP servers.
  • Graph governance hub. Shared canvas for schema design, review, ownership, proposals and safe deployments with audit logs and RBAC.
  • Cache warming. Pre-warm query planning cache to eliminate long planning delays for high-load scenarios.

Zuplo API Gateway features

  • Programmable policy engine. Write TypeScript policies for auth, rate limits, spend caps and audit that apply to APIs, LLMs and MCP calls.
  • AI & MCP traffic routing. Route LLM requests and AI agent calls with budgets, caching and guardrails.
  • Developer portal & monetization. Self-serve docs, API keys, usage-based billing and Stripe integration.
  • GitOps deployment. Deploy gateways from GitHub (or GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps) in minutes.
  • Real-time observability. Dashboards show per-agent, per-token usage; export logs to Datadog or your SIEM.
  • Dynamic rate limiting. Automatically caps traffic spikes to protect origin costs.
  • Security controls. Auth, schema validation, prompt-injection defense and audit logs protect APIs and AI models.
  • SLA & compliance. 99.99% uptime SLA, SOC 2 Type II and enterprise-grade SSO/RBAC options.
