Google Cloud Endpoints

Nice Pick

Developers should use Google Cloud Endpoints when building and managing APIs on GCP, as it simplifies API lifecycle management with built-in authentication, monitoring, and logging features

Pros

  • +It is ideal for projects requiring secure API access, such as mobile apps, web applications, and microservices architectures, and when leveraging other GCP services for a cohesive cloud solution
  • +Related to: google-cloud-platform, api-management

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Azure API Management

Developers should use Azure API Management when building scalable API ecosystems that require centralized management, security, and analytics

Pros

  • +It's ideal for microservices architectures, legacy system modernization, and B2B integrations where you need to expose APIs to external partners or internal teams with controlled access and monitoring
  • +Related to: azure-functions, azure-logic-apps

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Google Cloud Endpoints if: You want it is ideal for projects requiring secure api access, such as mobile apps, web applications, and microservices architectures, and when leveraging other gcp services for a cohesive cloud solution and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Azure API Management if: You prioritize it's ideal for microservices architectures, legacy system modernization, and b2b integrations where you need to expose apis to external partners or internal teams with controlled access and monitoring over what Google Cloud Endpoints offers.
