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.
