Stop Paying for Every API Call

Move from Apigee's usage-based pricing to open-source Envoy Gateway and take control of your API infrastructure, governance, and operating costs.

Google Apigee versus Envoy Gateway cost and performance comparison
The Case for Switching

Why teams leave Apigee

01

Per-call pricing

Apigee charges per API call at scale. Envoy Gateway has no per-request billing.

02

Cloud lock-in

Apigee ties API management to Google Cloud. Envoy Gateway runs on any Kubernetes cluster, anywhere.

03

Governance parity

IMESH plugins replicate Apigee policies — quotas, spike arrest, and transformation — on Envoy Gateway.

04

Simplified stack

Remove a dedicated API management layer in favor of a single Kubernetes-native gateway.

How It Works

The migration path

1

Assess & inventory

Catalog Apigee proxies, policies, and product configurations in scope.

2

Map configuration

Translate Apigee proxy policies into Envoy Gateway routes and IMESH plugin equivalents.

3

Pilot & validate

Run both platforms in parallel to validate quota, auth, and transformation behavior.

4

Cutover & decommission

Redirect API traffic to Envoy Gateway and retire Apigee billing.
