API Management Frequently Asked Questions
API management is the practice of governing, securing, and monitoring APIs throughout their entire lifecycle—from design to retirement. It's critical because APIs are the foundation for connecting systems, enabling AI agents, and powering digital experiences. Without management, organizations face security risks, lack visibility into API usage, experience governance gaps, and struggle with API sprawl across teams which makes it impossible to scale safely or leverage APIs for AI and automation.
You should look for a platform that lets you manage all APIs from one place, as well as: security policies and access control, API gateway for traffic management, discovery and cataloging, analytics and monitoring, lifecycle management, developer portals for self-service, compliance validation, and the ability to manage APIs built anywhere. MuleSoft provides universal API management that works with any API regardless of where it was built or deployed.
An API gateway acts as the entry point that sits between API consumers and backend services, enforcing security policies, rate limiting, authentication, and routing traffic. MuleSoft offers Flex Gateway and Mule Gateway so you can deploy anywhere: cloud, on-prem, edge. The gateway works with API Manager to apply policies, collect analytics, and protect APIs, functioning as the enforcement layer while API Manager provides the control plane for governance and monitoring.
MuleSoft makes migration easy so you won’t need to rebuild your existing APIs to start managing them with API Manager. Anypoint Platform can automatically find and organize your current APIs no matter where they live, then add security and monitoring without changing any code. You can bring APIs under management gradually at your own pace, and it works with APIs built anywhere, so you don't have to rip out and replace existing systems.
Yes! MuleSoft's universal API management can protect, govern, and monitor any API regardless of where it was built or deployed, whether on MuleSoft, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, or elsewhere. Deploy Flex Gateway or Managed Flex Gateway in front of any API to apply security policies, rate limiting, and analytics. Catalog non-MuleSoft APIs in Anypoint Exchange for discovery and documentation, creating a single source of truth for all APIs across your organization.
Absolutely. MuleSoft offers low-code tools and AI-powered development (Anypoint Code Builder) that enable smaller teams to design, build, and manage APIs without extensive IT resources. Pre-built policies, templates in Exchange, automated cataloging, and visual design tools reduce complexity. Teams can start with a 30-day free trial, deploy Flex Gateway in minutes, and scale up as needs grow.
