Apigee
Apigee is a full lifecycle API management platform developed by Google Cloud that enables organizations to design, secure, deploy, monitor, and scale APIs. It provides tools for API gateway functionality, developer portal creation, analytics, and monetization to help businesses expose their services as APIs efficiently. The platform supports both on-premises and cloud deployments, making it versatile for hybrid environments.
Developers should learn Apigee when building or managing enterprise-grade APIs that require robust security, traffic management, and analytics, such as in microservices architectures or digital transformation projects. It is particularly useful for scenarios involving API monetization, developer ecosystem management, and ensuring compliance with policies like rate limiting and authentication across distributed systems.
