Apigee Edge vs. SwaggerHub

Apigee has been great when managing the quota based access to the APIs. It is really good and suitable when considering proxying the in-house server endpoints access with the way it provides security with API Key validation and OAuth.

We use SwaggerHub to design API endpoint and documentation for our microservices architecture system. It's working really great for us to be able to collaborate more easily on developing API in our team. It also can test our API endpoint which makes an integration test easier when we deploy changes to the API, especially for non-developers/QA.

• Manage user access, we can allow specific access to users based on their need and even customize requests of services based on user requirements.
• Allow branding, so that SFO can maintain its look and feel but still get the support and functionalities we need from Apigee.
• Integrates well with other platforms we use.

Incentivized

• Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
• API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
• We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

Incentivized

• Might need to bring in more features that a gateway performs, such a orchestration to some extent.
• May seem to be costly at start for small scale enterprises.

Incentivized

• Swagger Editor can be bit more user friendly by providing the means to persist different projects as part of user profiles
• Swagger UI's testing capability or means to test APIs can be improved
• Swagger UI clients can be added as part of Spring ecosystem

I am not the one deciding whether to use apigee or not really. But personally, I would recommend the use of it as developing APIs on it is easy. And as a mediator between backend servers, we could easily modify request and responses in it without touching any backend code while having a centralize gateway to access our backend APIs too.

Support has helped us to resolved all the queries and community support was also good.

Quite hard to get support, at least on the coding side, when we encounter blockers. But general concerns, they would schedule a call to you for them to get a whole picture of your concern. Albeit in my experience, bad really as they haven't replied about the progress, but otherwise seems to have been fixed.

Apigee is the best in the market in terms of API Analytics Apigee is having wonderful Documentation with short videos Security is a major concern and Apigee provides an easily configurable policy to secure API Quota and rate-limit is again very easy to configure on every API basis It provides various policies to transform the response from one form to another form e.g. JSON to XML or XML to JSON

We have had SwaggerHub for as long as I have been with the company, so I am not sure why SwaggerHub was selected compared to other similar tools

Incentivized

• Unruly, difficult to maintain, unable to test, difficult to troubleshoot and debug. Every ticket that requires Apigee work increases stress and anxiety.

Incentivized

• Faster API development lifecycle.
• Reduced discussion time when building a new vital API endpoint.
• Complete documentation which makes the new team member onboarding process easier.
