What is Google Apigee?

Apigee is Google Cloud's API management platform for designing, securing, and scaling REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs. It applies policies to API proxies so teams can enforce authentication, quotas, and traffic controls without writing backend code, and it includes a developer portal, API monetization tools, and analytics for tracking usage and performance.

Apigee can run as a fully managed cloud service or as Apigee hybrid, deploying the runtime in a customer's own Kubernetes cluster across any cloud or data center. New users can evaluate the platform through a 60-day free trial, after which pricing moves to pay-as-you-go per-environment fees plus per-call charges, or a custom annual subscription for larger deployments.
